Mysteries abound at Saskatchewan's Government House, and Sam and J.J. are once again tasked with solving them - before it's too late. Things aren't as they appear at Government House, as Sam and J.J. discover on a field trip when they find themselves at the turn of the 20th century discussing mushroom growth with George Watt, the gardener of the property. In an attempt to uncover what happened, the girls find themselves back in the present, face-to-face with the ghost of a woman who simply mouths the word "watch" to them. Who is this mysterious woman, and what does she want? In order to solve the mystery, Sam and J.J. must navigate the grounds of Government House (both past and present). And with only the faintest idea of how to return to their time, their forays into the past become dangerous. Can they figure out what the ghosts wants before they are stuck in the past for good?

À travers le Créateur, le bison s'est offert en cadeau au peuple cri des Plaines pour lui procurer nourriture et assurer sa survie. Autrefois, le plus imposant mammifère terrestre d'Amérique du Nord parcourait les vastes plaines au nombre de 30 à 50 millions. Il a fourni abri, nourriture, vêtements, outils, équipement de chasse, objets cérémoniels et plusieurs autres nécessités aux habitants des Plaines. Mais vers 1889, il ne restait plus qu'un millier de bisons et la vie des Cris des Plaines a changé. Encore de nos jours, on voue un grand respect au bison en souvenir de la vie harmonieuse qui a déjà existé. Cette histoire relate la façon dont le bison s'est donné sans compter.
