Denver, 1961. Kitty Miller has come to terms with her unconventional single life, running a bookshop she runs with her best friend, Frieda; coming and going as she pleases.

Denver, 1963: Katharyn Andersson is married to Lars; they have beautiful children, an elegant home, and good friends -- but it only exists when she sleeps. And with each visit, the more irresistibly real her "dream" life becomes. Can she choose which life she wants ... as the lines between her worlds begin to blur..?
