Based on the Carnegie Medal
winning novel by Margeret Mahy. Sixteen
year-old Laura Chant lives in a low-rent
suburb on the edge of earthquake-scarred
Christchurch, New Zealand with her mother
and four-year-old brother, Jacko. When an
ancient spirit attacks Jacko and slowly draws
the life out of him, Laura discovers her true
identity and the supernatural ability within
her, and must harness it to save her brother's
life.
