"Lost Soul" Raychelle Carter often escapes her uninspiring home life in Santa Monica, California, to check in at a virtual bar. The Last Chance Saloon visitors are encouraged to confess secrets and plot lies. Stories are written and read, but communication between guests is not possible... in theory. Coerced by her overbearing mother into a loveless engagement, and helped by her friend Sofie to dump (P) Rick, Raychelle shares her misery online. Moving forward, she relies on guidance from Luna, the resident virtual astrologer, and becomes increasingly intrigued with tales posted by the "Haunted Man." Raychelle encounters that moniker again while at a Las Vegas conference, which leads her into a dubious encounter with an enigmatic musical stranger. He takes her on a twisted journey leading her into his dark past, and to a crossroads where reality and cyber space converge.
