JAMES, a young professor from the University of Hong Kong, is in Vancouver to audit a course at the University of British Columbia (UBC). The course, Canadian Urban Legends, has quickly gained interest in Canada as well as at foreign universities with good ex-pat populations.
During the course, JAMES is drawn to a horrific event that took place in BC during the building of the railroad where over a hundred Chinese immigrants were killed in a train bombing. The event raised a native spirit, the Reclaimer.
JAMES , through a series of dreams, finds a connection to the event and his great grandfather. When the school is offered a ghost ride along the original tracks where the event occurred, JAMES and the UBC Professor, BILL, find out just how real the story is.
