Long Description Tara Benten leaves Key West for a ski vacation in Pagosa Springs Colorado. Shes almost hit by an airport tram in Miami, but makes her flight to Durango where shes met by a handsome ski instructor, Alex Chapman. They spend a whirlwind week together and although Alex withholds intimacy, Tara falls in love with the kind, spiritual man that he is. On her last day, he shows her his Olympic memorabilia in Wolf Creek Lodge. Tara faints when she sees a plaque with Alexs birth and death dates 25 years before. Tara wakes up in a Miami hospital and finds out shes been in a coma for 10 days. She was the woman hit by the tram. Recovering from knee and colon surgery, shes transferred to a rehab center in the middle Florida Keys. Her sister, Lily and best friend Rudi try to cheer her up. The psychologist insists that her coma relationship with Alex was merely a dream. She struggles and finds that hard to believe. While unpacking after rehab, Tara discovers Alexs silver medal in the bottom of her suitcase that never left Miami. Alex gave it to her right before she fainted in the lodge. Researching, Tara finds that the medal is authentic and wants to return it. She goes to her therapist for a hypnosis session and Alex comes to her. He encourages her to return to Pagosa Springs. Tara also has a session with her best friend, Rudis mother, Oya, whos a medium. Alex doesnt come, but her father who committed suicide the previous year does. Tara accepts that she had an experience with Alex in another dimension beyond the five senses. Xander Chapman and his parents, Nick and Grace Chapman debate how Alexs medal could have disappeared from its case without tampering. Xander has conflicted with his father most of his life since he doesnt want to join the business, but is following his dream to be an artist. His latest work is a painting of his late uncle Alex Chapman. Xander finds Tara up on the peak where Alex flew off the cliff and died. They go to the lodge for coffee and she sees the memorabilia wall knowing the missing medal is in her purse. She wants to return it, but doesnt want to be considered the thief. Xander and Tara realize theyve been having the same dream of Alexs death. Tara is startled by the painting which piques Xanders curiosity.

His brother, Nick stepped in to help in her time of grief. Grace invites Xander and Tara to dinner at their home. Tara is elated since this is where she and Alex spent most of their time together. Tara is caught by Nick, Grace and Xander, in a private room of Alexs memorabilia with the missing medal that shes trying to anonymously return. They think shes a thief stealing more.
