Sam Merrick is wondering if he has bitten off more than he can chew. He just wanted to be a hero to his ex-wife, Amanda and his granddaughter, Samantha, by helping them understand and embrace their special gift-the memories of their past lives.
Using his new-found wealth, Sam brings Amanda and Samantha together with eight others who also have the memories to share their stories and try to understand why they have been singled out and decide how to make sure this is a blessing and not a curse.
He hosts a retreat in the splendid isolation of the San Juan Islands. The groups shares stories of their past and current lives that include tales of passion, hatred, courage, love, history, sacrifice, murder and all manner of drama and then there is the mysterious death of one of their members.
As questions get answered, new questions emerge and Sam wonders if his plan, designed to help him win back his ex-wife, will backfire causing him to lose her to another in the group.
One thing is for certain. The lives of everyone in attendance will be changed forever.
