Shayne Sarsfield is a troubled young woman, with bad habits, bad luck, and demons that are hidden inside of her and inside the small, simple town she grew up in. Despite support from her parents, friends, and new love interest, Shayne struggles to accept the much-needed help being offered to her. But she's still all alone, wrapped up in a near-constant fog of alcohol, guilt over her real and imagined shortcomings, the panic attacks and compulsive rituals, and her persistent, haunting memories. And now there's a very real danger in Shayne's life. The man who nearly killed her four years ago may be about to try again. Her life is accelerating toward a reckoning, one that seems beyond her control. Shayne's life has become a drama written by someone else, where she just acts the part and speaks the lines. But Shayne finally contemplates her destiny and decides to stop the play and begin writing her own script, not knowing if her new role will be one of freedom, death, or something in between.
