Have you ever felt like you’re not who you’re supposed to be? Like your life isn’t yours? Well maybe it isn’t. Tess Manning begins having terrible nightmares in the weeks leading up to her 21st birthday. In them she is constantly pursued by a dark figure who seems intent on causing her harm. The dreams grow increasingly dangerous but also shockingly real as the events in her dreams begin to haunt her in real life: Cuts and bruises she obtains in her nightmares are suddenly there when she wakes up. She seems to keep encountering people she feels like she already knows, but has never met. And strong feelings of dejavu are constant. As she struggles to understand what is happening to her, Tess meets a handsome stranger who may have the answers she's looking for, but could also lead her to a secret that she may wish had stayed hidden.
