The accident that ended her burgeoning acting career left her with excruciating chronic back pain, a failed marriage, and a deepening dependence on painkillers. And now, shes on the verge of losing her job as a college theater director. Determined to put on ShakespearesAlls Well That Ends Well, the play that promised and cost her everything, she faces a mutinous cast hellbent on stagingMacbethinstead. Miranda sees her chance at redemption slip through her fingers.

Thats when she meets three strange benefactors who have an eerie knowledge of Mirandas past and a tantalizing promise for her future: one where the show goes on, her rebellious students get whats coming to them, and the invisible doubted pain thats kept her from the spotlight is made known.
