In 1925, nine-year-old Amelia Noble stumbles upon her first dead body, that of her murdered mother. Her young policeman uncle takes her under his wing, but struggles to preserve her childhood innocence. When she accompanies him to another crime scene, it is soon apparent that she can help him. Somehow, she can peer into the eyes and envision the last fleeting moments of the dead. With his camera, she captures things that no one else knows to look for. Now, in 1948, detectives insert themselves into an investigation of a merciless killer in their village, and her quiet life is once again turned upside down.
