Marnie
Tolliver
lives a regimented existence until the sudden death of her father leaves the
family business vulnerable to take-over, derails her engagement, devastates her
invalid mother Deidre, and exposes long-held family secrets. Health declining,
Deidre is frantic to disclose murky details of an ancestral link to Mayan
culture, and tries to convince Marnie that she’s in danger. Insisting her
husband’s death renders Marnie subject to Mayan law of Inherited Rights,
Deidre dies before Marnie learns more.
Left with a sense of disquiet, puzzling images of exotic places
and
intimacy with a sexy apparition haunt Marnie's dreams, which affects her waking
hours, and prompts Marnie to take off on a much-needed cruise vacation.
During one port-of-call, while touring the Costa Rica rain forest, Marnie happens upon an indigenous
tribe
that entices her to join their rituals and share their meal.
Afterward, she drifts into a surreal state of sleep and
her phantom lover appears.
When she awakens, she’s alone, and
no longer in the forest. Once back onboard ship, no one believes her
story. Marnie returns home to find the family
business has a new partner,
Etienne Luc Cuvier, the incarnation of her fantasy lover. Two
months later, she learns she’s pregnant. Unwilling to accept all
these occurrences as quirky déjà vu, she recalls Deidre’s ominous revelations,
senses her life is in jeopardy, and suspects someone close to her is
manipulating events.
But who, and why?
