The coastal town of Santa Cruz California is in the throes of the Civil War. Undercover U.S. Marshal A.J. Sloan unearths death, conspiracy, and paranormal mystery while trying to investigate a rebel thieving gang. 'Ghosts' in a nearby gulch suddenly appear, warning him of betrayal and death. A.J. will fail, the ghosts claim, and the lives of his family, the outcome of the war, and the fate of Santa Cruz will all change. How A.J. can outmaneuver this fate rests on the help of an eccentric inventor, a brilliant bandido, and a clever Hawaiian Princess hiding as a Californio boy. Together they set out to discover who the ghosts in the gulch really are, search for clues in a cemetery called Evergreen, only to discover that these 'ghosts' could be voices from the future. But which future, depends on them. Based on true events.
