Amy's marriage to Jason looks flawless from the outside. Behind closed doors, she lives with his violence and control. During a cruise vacation without her husband, Amy meets Liz, a young woman traveling alone to reunite with her birth mother. The two women share such a strong resemblance they could pass for siblings. A devastating accident kills many passengers and leaves Amy unconscious. When she wakes, confused personal belongings have led everyone to believe she is Liz. The real Liz has vanished and is presumed dead. Amy faces a choice that will determine her future. She can reveal her true identity and return to Jason's abuse, or she can live as Liz while planning her permanent escape. Amy chooses to inhabit Liz's life, but her deception proves fragile. Some people doubt her story. One wrong move could destroy everything and force her back into the nightmare she fled.
