Ellie has a horrible nightmare of Joel beat to death by an unknown – a young blond woman she glimpsed at the church hall earlier that same night. The girl wakes in a fervor after and runs to see if he is still alive. He is. The course of their story is altered forever and it appears to be a whole new beginning for Joel and Ellie. Still, as the haunting night terror changes Ellie's life and as a Jackson-wide mandate gets put into effect, the young woman finds herself at a crossroads. Does she hold to past resentments or move forward into a future that's far more uncertain than either of them could imagine...
