When she blinks, it disappears. But she can still smell the sharp pine scent in the air, the nearest pine tree a thousand kilometres away in the far reaches of Treaty 8.<\/p>\n<p>Mackenzie continues to accidentally bring back items from her dreams, dreams that are eerily similar to real memories of her older sister and Kokum before their untimely deaths. As Mackenzie&#8217;s life spirals into a living nightmare\u2014crows are following her around and she&#8217;s getting texts from her dead sister on the other side\u2014it becomes clear that these dreams have terrifying, real-life consequences.
