Without Matt, Chantelle's life becomes a nightmare, and the only way she can free herself of this is by getting drunk. In the meantime, back home in America, Matt begins to have vivid dreams about Chantelle. Eventually, a monkey wrench is throwing when Carol, Matt's fiancée, finds out about Chantelle and craves retribution. Matt soon discovers that he has put Chantelle's life in danger. Can he save her?
