Hallie Hartley walks into her home to find her stepsister Shelly once again scheming to take what belongs to her. This time it's a house on Nantucket that a mysterious relative has left to Hallie. Fed up with years of sacrificing her own happiness for beautiful, manipulative Shelly, Hallie flies to the island to claim her inheritance. Her first client there is James Taggert, a wealthy young man recovering from what he claims is a skiing injury. Hallie suspects Jamie is hiding the truth about how he got hurt. As she helps him heal, his nightmares reveal deeper wounds than any physical therapy can address. Only Hallie's presence seems to calm his tormented sleep. The island itself holds secrets, and as Jamie's family gathers for a wedding celebration, supernatural forces seem determined to bring the pair together. Hallie must decide whether to trust Jamie with her heart, even as she uncovers the dark truth he's been concealing about his past.
