With a leading role on a hit TV show and a relationship with Hollywood's latest heartthrob, Meg Bryan appears to have everything she ever wanted. But underneath the layers of makeup and hairspray, her happiness is as fake as her stage name, Lana Lord. Following a breakdown at her birthday party, she books an impromptu trip to Ireland. Specifically, the village where she and her best friend Aimee always dreamt of moving-a dream that fell apart when an accident claimed Aimee's life a decade ago.
When Meg arrives, the people in town treat her not as a stranger, but a friend (except for the hot bartender). Meg writes it all off as jetlag until she looks in the mirror. Her hair is no longer bleached, her skin has a few natural fine lines, and her nose looks like... well, her old nose. Her real nose.
Eventually, she comes to accept that she somehow made a quantum slide into an alternate version of her life. But the most shocking realization of all? In this life, her best friend Aimee is alive-but wants nothing to do with Meg.
Despite her bewilderment, Meg is clear-eyed about one thing: this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to reconnect with her friend and repair what she broke. She finagles an opportunity to act in the play Aimee is writing and directing and as the project unfolds, Meg realizes that events as she remembers them may not be the only truth, and that an impossible choice looms before her.
