Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Amid the craggy, dusty hills of southern France, a woman screams in the night. Gorgeous Melissa Comfort, a wealthy heiress confined to a wheelchair since birth, cries out in her nightmares, terrified of a dream that comes night after night. In this night terror, she's 10-years-old. Running from a man who may or may not be her father.
