She clings to Shawn, the eccentric, spritely boy-next-door promising adventures...with surprises of his own, involving an Irish legend and a hidden lighthouse. This brings on a whole new dimension to Rebecca's visions, and sparks feverish romance between her and Shawn. A bond eventually threatened by forces beyond her control, sending her spiralling into dark, stormy places, leaving her to wonder how broken a mind can get.
