Her fiancé tragically killed on their wedding day, Cindy Rossberg begins to suspect that she may have somehow been responsible for his death. When Cindy attempts to take her psychiatrist's advice and avoid dwelling on the past, however, a series of strange occurrences leaves her convinced that the events depicted in her latest book are beginning to play out in reality. Meanwhile, it begins to dawn on Cindy that in order to find true fulfillment, she must finally take her happiness into her own hands.
