The beginning
Gemma grew up after the death of her mother Ingrid. As an adult raising Maya, she begins experiencing frightening astral journeys and returns with an object from the Further.

In the Further, Gemma finds Ingrid and learns she too was a courier who died trying to protect her daughter. Maya has inherited the ability, and Cyrus uses her to pull spirits into reality.
