After the tragic death of her husband, Tess becomes delusional, seeing things that aren't there. She can no longer remember sleeping through the night. Nightmares, realistic and horrific, make her afraid to close her eyes; afraid to catch a few moments of sleep. She is tottering on the brink of a nervous breakdown and there seems nothing she can do about it. That's when Amanda, a bombastic teenager born with a special gift, or curse depending on the way you look at it, barges in and takes over. The outcome of this invasion of Tess's privacy is unpredictable, unbelievable, and life changing.
