Synopsis
As the year comes to an ending, in the hour 'tween old and new, part the veil and let pass the spirits who would travel through.

It is a time when the veil between the worlds is thin, and those who have passed into the spirit world may be more easily contacted. Those Annie holds dear dwell behind this veil already -- will she find them on this eve of Wiccan celebration?
