A tough kid from a tougher neighborhood, Charlotte "Charlie" Laurent has never been one to harbor delusions of grandeur. After her father's death, a sudden family move, and her mother desperate battle with cancer, the task of keeping the family afloat has fallen on her shoulders.
She's managed to earn enough money in this quaint little English village to keep them off the street, and even made a few friends along the way - but when a stranger from America drops in for a surprise visit, the villagers treat her girlfriend like the queen, and her very nightmares come rushing to life?
Charlie's small world finds itself on course for a head-long collision with something so much bigger that will leave her with only one choice: to doubt her sanity, or embrace her destiny.
