With a plan she has had set in motion since she was a little girl, Cynthia is determined to get everything right.

Cynthia visits the Quiet Rosemary Saloon, a desolate little bar in the small town of Redsbouro Connecticut, and while drowning in her sorrows she is encountered by an older gentleman named Brandon, who too holds his own secrets.
