Sixteen-year-old Annie Wren's life is miserable. What with her parents' constant bickering and her failing grades, Annie is sure her world is falling apart and she can forget being accepted at any college. Junior year is a nightmare. The final straw? She is taken out of orchestra and forced to endure an after-school remedial program. Even worse, reoccurring dreams of a colorful sea world, where music floods the senses, plague her. Then the unexpected happens. A single scene in a movie sparks a memory, long buried. Annie is convinced that sometime in her past, she was abducted by "aliens" and taken up in a spaceship. She needs to talk to someone but who? Who would believe such a bizarre story? She would be mocked or worse, sent away for psychiatric help. Annie's search for the truth about her "abduction" takes her back to her grandparents' isolated cabin in Maine, where, as a small child, the impossible became possible.
