So, the twins get separated. Unfortunately, out there, the twin, Christopher tragically dies in a fatal accident because of his love at the first sight and an opportunity for him to expressly reveal and declare his feelings to Penelope, who has no knowledge of him or any idea about his feelings for her. The dead twin’ spirit refuses to rest and comes back for her. Subsequently, Penelope is tormented and troubled by romantic episodes in her dreams where she is romantically taken hostage by a mysterious lover who vanishes each time she spontaneously succumbs to his actions. Every time, she wakes up with the dreams still very vivid and crying. Confused about her feelings, she wonders why and how possible. Upon realization that he, Christopher cannot satisfy her human feelings, the dead twin’s spirit passes her over to his twin who is still alive back in their hometown. With the new leads in her dreams and with encouragement from her friends and confidants, Penelope sets off on a quest to find her lover – the man in her dreams and the journey leads her to a painfully shocking revelation.
