Terror, heartbreak, deceit, rape, tragedy, despair and finding the will to survive. These are the driving forces in the lives of three very different women.
Shelly is a talented young artist, attending school, and dreaming of a future career and a life with the man she is dating. Lynne, a mobility instructor at a school for blind children, is building a family with her husband and young son. Lora, a human resources professional, is living a magical life of travel, theatre, sailing, and great restaurants with the husband she loves. And then a new reality descends upon each of them.
Will these three women take steps to move towards their tomorrows? Will Shelly find a way to rescue herself by changing the game from his to hers without his knowledge? Will Lynne provide the necessary care for a 3-pound baby on 7 different medications due to severely compromised lungs? Will Lora accept that her amazingly wonderful marriage has been a hoax and find a way to define a new existence for herself? Continued captivity, the breakdown of a family, and the choice to end a life could be the consequences of failure. Their stories cross time, entwine with other lives, and ultimately converge at a pivotal moment in each of their lives.
