Eighty-six year old Emma Perkins believed she was reaching the sunset of her life. Reluctantly accepting her age, she had resigned herself to living out her remaining years in Carson House, her beloved family home located in the inner city neighborhood of Springfield in Jacksonville, Florida. Protected by its massive walls, Carson House stands proud as the last semblance of a decadent age long past. But as Emma studies her reflection in the mirror, she’s fascinated by what she sees. The color in her cheeks, the tone of her skin, is she actually getting younger? Are the lines on her weathered face starting to fade? It would appear so. She doesn’t understand what’s happening to her but there’s one thing she is convinced of, ever since Tor, a mysterious stray cat came into Emma’s life, she hasn’t been the same. Every morning she wakes up feeling decades younger. Is it Tor? Does the cat’s presence have something to do with her rejuvenation? She’s convinced it does and she’s not the only one. Her caregiver and best friend Cathy and their ward Thomas are finding that each day holds new surprises for them as well. Do some cats possess mystical powers? For Tor it could be said that this is true. Existing through the ages, Tor has impacted countless lives over the course of his long existence, often proving to be fiercely loyal to those who earn his trust and respect. Fortunately for Emma, her fateful encounter with Tor changes her life in ways she could never imagine while setting a chain of events in motion that ultimately culminate into an intricate web of deception, betrayal, and murder shaking Jacksonville’s corrupt political power structure all the way to its core.
