He seeks refuge in Miramar Bay, but is haunted by dark dreams. There he meets Mimi, who has left her tragic childhood in Ukraine and has the talent to read unrestful visions of others. She is the comfort Billy needs as he finds himself falling in love with her. But can he go back to his real world and say goodbye to the woman who has changed his life?
