When Lindsay Whitman, who lives in modern day Washington
State, meets Nate Bradley; a veil to another time seems to lift. Lindsay is
instantly attracted to Nate, but that attraction is secondary to an intrigue
she feels because she has visions of someone else's past nearly every time she sees him.
It isn’t very long before Lindsay realizes there is a
connection between herself, Nate, and her visions. She is seeing the life of a
person who was once very real, Elaine “Lainey” White.
Elaine is a teenager who lives in Tennessee during WWII,
and she has a very tragic tale. She and her childhood love, Sam, have an
ill-fated love story. Elaine loved Sam with her whole heart for all of her
youth. When WWII breaks out, Sam is instantly compelled to serve his country.
Elaine hates having Sam leave to go to war, but she loves him for the person he
has to be in order to make that commitment.
Lindsay sees all of these things happen in
out-of-sequence flashbacks. In one of the flashbacks she realizes that Sam
looks almost exactly like Nate. She tries not to let the visions influence her
feelings for Nate, but she isn’t able to completely separate them. In a dream
she finds that Elaine looks hauntingly like her. She comes to wonder why she is
having the visions and if there is a message for her in them.
After awhile Nate confesses to having visions of Sam and Elaine
as well. Lindsay and Nate bond over their unique circumstances, but young love
being what it is, Nate and Lindsay eventually face obstacles of their own.
Will they be able to be Elaine and Sam’s second chance or
will real life take its toll on both couples?
