A dozen years later, on the day of her father's funeral, Clarissa discovers that her father wasn't biological father at all and the one person she trusts, her fiancé has just revealed a terrible and life-changing secret to her. In the cycle of one day, her world becomes myths and rumors as she is catapulted out of the life she knew to search for her past from New York, Helsinki, and the North of the Arctic Circle.
