Synopsis
Miranda Romanac is a successful and independent New York rare book dealer in her thirties. She begins a relationship with Hugh Oakley, an older man who is already married. Ghostly figures from her past appear, along with a woman who claims to be her future self. Her sense of reality dissolves into strange visions and strangers she feels she knows, and she must face the harm she has done.
