As Jamie’s dreams drop him into key memories from his past, she appears as the mom she was to him at the time: first as a young boy, then a pre-teen, and finally the tragic moment of his adolescence that led to her untimely death. As Jamie comes face to face with his deepest regret, will she be able to convince him not only to forgive himself, but that he still has everything to live for?

A determined yet empathetic psychiatrist, Doctor Sinclair has been trying to find the right treatment for Jamie, without any success. In an effort to break through, she prescribes a new medication, believing Jamie will report any unusual side effects that would make her change course.

Limited by her clinical role, and not realizing that Jamie has been lying about his dreams, she trusts the medication is showing progress. Will she uncover Jamie’s deception in time to help him, or will she unwittingly allow him to face his past all on his own?
