When their beloved high school theater teacher vanishes without a trace, former rivals are forced to work together to find her. The two women couldn't be more different now. One has built a careful, predictable life. The other takes risks and follows her heart. They barely tolerated each other in high school drama club, and the years haven't softened their edges. But their teacher meant everything to both of them, and they're the only ones who seem to care that she's gone. Their investigation takes an impossible turn when they stumble into alternate versions of reality. In one world, they're best friends. In another, they never met. Each reality shows them different versions of themselves and different possibilities for their relationship. As they jump between worlds searching for their teacher, they're forced to confront a question neither wants to ask. What would have happened if they'd seen past their rivalry? The answer might be the key to bringing their teacher home.
