At night when Andrea closes her eyes, she sleeps a dreamless sleep. For nearly twenty years now, her sleep has been nothing but an empty precursor to dawn. But this is the least of her troubles. Her life has not been without tragedy, and recent events have put her older sister, Elaine, in her care. She lives among people that she cannot relate to. And she longs to know why she feels so out of place.
When Andrea closes her eyes tonight, she does not find herself in her own bed – but in a bed of crisp leaves on a lush forest floor. She explores the vivid world around her in awe. As she journeys further, she encounters a young man, a man that insists that she is only dreaming. Yet something about him feels so real… so familiar.
Andrea is unknowingly pulled into a world that she cannot understand – a world that coexists with ours. She is unaware of the crime that is being committed and the punishment for it. As she walks the beautiful world of her dreams, she is being watched by many inquisitive eyes. And only time will tell their true intentions.
