IS IT DESTINY? Are their dreams really trying to tell them something? Or are they just troubled human beings whose secrets and misunderstandings are leading them into a nightmare of their own making? Twenty-five years ago a nameless young woman watches from across the street as a fire rages through her attic apartment. Someone wants her dead. Defiant, she vows to fight back by any means possible-even if it means breaking an oath she'd made to herself… In present day, Rayni Jameson, a recent college grad, simmers with bitter anger towards her mother, Zanna, whose lies and evasions about the past-especially who Rayni's father is-have long infuriated her. Zanna has her reasons, but secrets are like a cancer, and Rayni burns for the truth. Home in Montana for a visit, she determinedly searches their attic for clues to her mother's past. There she finds a dog-eared photo of her mom and a little boy taken long ago on a beach. But when asked about it, her mother says she can't remember the boy's name or the beach. Only that it was somewhere in the Bay Area. Rayni is certain her mother is lying, so it almost feels like fate when a friend unexpectedly offers her a free place to live in Tiburon-a city near San Francisco, where her mother's past lay hidden. Little does she know that the pursuit could be dangerous… Searching for the beach in the picture, Rayni accidentally meets Nick MacKenzie, whose mother, Angeline, may hold the keys to the past. Yet Nick warns her away from Angeline, saying she is unstable and possibly dangerous. But Rayni isn't about to give up. Back in Montana, upon learning what Rayni is doing, Zanna becomes frantic-then terrified-then sick. She swore she'd never return to the Bay Area, but now has no choice: She has to stop her daughter from being drawn into the darkness she herself once escaped. Once there, Zanna is befriended by a group of people who ostensibly meet to study religion. They seem normal, caring even… But then strange things begin to happen… Almost supernatural things… They are even having similar dreams… This freaks everyone out. But do the dreams truly carry messages? Are they really being urged toward some unknown, possibly terrifying event, as some suspect? Something related to Zanna and her daughter? Or is it just their Tensions grow until one fateful night belief, fear, and truth collide, and they are forced to confront and suspend their realities in a desperate attempt to save a life. Meanwhile, watching from the shadows, are two mysterious figures-Pierre and Mrs. Jannes-whose motives are hidden, but whose influence may decide everything
