Jesse Wallace's dilemma is that he knows too much. He knows all the deepest, darkest secrets in the little town of Briley, Oregon. But he can't tell a living soul. He knows the daughter of the town's most successful rancher is addicted to drugs. He knows Briley's highly respected parson is having an affair with a local prostitute. He knows the details of a young girl's kidnapping, and he saw two horrible murders. But he can't inform the town sheriff or the state police. In fact, he can't say a single word at all, because one of those murders was his own. Jesse's dead, and he's stuck on the other side.

Ever hear the story about the ghost in the whorehouse? This is it.
