Georgia Reed is about to discover that things are not always what they seem. A newly discovered painter with all the right doors opening before her, and living a perfectly happy life with her lover in Austin, she becomes unexpectedly drawn to a mysterious man - but who is he? He claims he has come into her life for a purpose; to give her a gift like no other. He bears a remarkable resemblance to an acclaimed actor who died a couple of years ago and when he reveals his true identity to her, those suspicions are confirmed. As his warm touch caresses her face, she tells herself it doesn't matter and she dives deep into a dreamlike existence of forbidden love, turning against everything she believes in. But when he must leave Georgia, she will suffer between reality and a nightmare that even her family and friends cannot save her from. Finally realizing that he is never coming back, she must choose to either forget him or make the ultimate sacrifice to be with him. After all, it's only something as simple as death keeping them apart.
