When love, rivalry, and revenge collide, no one walks away unscarred.
No matter how hard Harper tries to build her suburban American dream with doting Doctor Applebee, how many therapists she sees, or how many pills she swallows, she can’t escape the question she shouldn’t even be asking.
What if she’s not crazy, what if the ghost is real?
On the cusp of engagement to the man who offers her everything, she lies to him, planning a trip to Britain to return to the one place she’s locked out of - her past.
Six years earlier, Alsie takes a road trip with her best friend Poppy where they meet a free-spirited hitchhiker named Harper on her way to a Hollywood party, where all their lives change forever. Chasing her dream to lift the winner’s plate at Wimbledon and prove she’s more than the "angry foster kid", Alsie won’t let anything stand in her way. Well, except a rooftop kiss with the handsome boy next door who happens to be her tennis rival.
The car crashes, the stories collide, and a dark vendetta comes into play, leaving two women lost, desperately searching for a truth they can only find in each other.
Two heart-breaking romances. One fatal crash. And a twist that will change everything.
