Seventeen-year-old Quinn provides closure to grieving families by taking on the short-term role of a deceased loved one, until huge secrets come to the surface about Quinn's own past. |

In a world before The Program.... Quinlan McKee is a closer-- she provides closure to grieving families by "becoming" a deceased loved one between the ages of fifteen and twenty. She's not an exact copy, of course, but she wears their clothes, acts like them, is them for all intents and purposes. But to do her job successfully, she can't get attached. When she's given the assignment of "being" Catalina Barnes, Quinn begins to bond with the deceased girl's boyfriend. But that's only the beginning of the complications.... |
