Polly's life is torn between the ordinary and the extraordinary. Her normal memories of school and friends clash with hazy recollections of a strange funeral and perilous adventures with a man named Tom Lynn. As Polly struggles to uncover the truth, she realizes her actions nine years ago may have doomed her one true love. Now she must confront the forgotten past to save him—and herself—before it's too late.
