Bonnie doesn't understand why a woman she's never met is in her dreams. Even stranger is the woman, Jyira, had been dead for six months. It all seems a little familiar. Willow has graduated from college and gone to spend the summer with Jez and the Daybreakers, also another distant cousin Bonnie who will be coming with friends of hers. She misses Jyira but hopes over the summer she can get over the tragic death of her close friend. Belinda is having a hard time dealing with the death of her twin, and figures time in Daybreak will help her recover. But before long the Bonnie, Belinda, Willow and the Daybreakers find themselves with problems when a new murderous vampire appears on the scene bent on death and destruction. They need to find out how to defeat her before she destroys them all, and what Jyira is doing in Bonnie's dreams. Jyira may be dead, but she's certainly not forgotten. So what's going on?
