Meghan is a single mom, besieged by the stresses of work, relationships, and parenting. In sleep, she begins to dream of another life, of a Lady named Sylvanne, trapped in her dying husband's castle, under siege by the army of a powerful Lord. The dreams are vivid, as real as life, and their reason is only revealed when the Lady is delivered into the presence of Lord Thomas.
