Alice Hotwire... Detective.... Exorcist. This series of stunningly detailed comic book visuals follows Alice and the mystery behind the Blue Lights (Ghosts is just not a word that sounds good in court) that have invaded society in the last 50 years. the phantasms wander around and mostly harmless.. but the odd one gets angry or lonely and starts to cling to the living. The newly dead are buried in ceramic and that keeps them that way. Alice comes to the scene of a particularly enraged Blue -Light. a little girl who misses her Daddy and has a man she says is her father and his family locked in her electrical grip.
Who is this former girl? Why does her 'father' have no knowledge of who she is? Why is she so much more powerful than any Blue-light seen before and why is she somewhere she can't possibly be.
