Christina Thomas is not coping very well with her newly diagnosed epilepsy. She is coping even less well with the break up with her lovely boyfriend, Jan.
A freak accident puts her into a coma and she is whisked away to another world, very different from her own, yet at the same time remarkably familiar.
