Critically injured in a motorbike accident, Zara Wilson lies in a coma. She is caught between many worlds: the world of her hospital room and anxious family, and that of her memories and a dream-like fantasy where she searches for her brother Jem. Jem proves elusive but Zara's adventures in her subconscious unlock dark secrets of a troubled childhood. Zara must face up to her past in order to accept her future.
