As an adult, Virginia Carr wanted nothing to do with Grant's Hill or Leticia, her high school sweetheart. But Virginia can't escape her past. A claim that Leticia has committed murder and Virginia's father's refusal of medical treatment draw Virginia and her partner Carolyn back to the town that Virginia was so eager to leave.

As Virginia immerses herself in the past, she starts to lose her grip on the present. She can't be sure of anything: is her father faking his illness, is her former lover a killer. Pressing Leticia for answers, Virginia forces her to justify her life choices. Their clashes force both women to see how their lives have been shaped by other people's dreams.
