Description
In the magical, secluded village of Laeternas, Marissa Jenkins, the mayor's daughter, awaits Cristina Stevenson, her destined soulmate, so that they can marry on her 28th birthday and preserve the ancient tradition. However, not only is Cristina on the other side of the world with another woman, but she also dies in a car accident a year before. The organizers of the ceremony are scrambling to preserve the tradition and keep Marissa unaware because otherwise everything will be ruined. Angela Keele, Cristina's girlfriend, turns to travelling and partying and booze after the terrifying car crash that changes the course of her life as a way to cope. When an acquaintance suggests visiting the enigmatic village of Laeternas, she accepts exploring the nice tourist destination, unbothered by what she sees as urban legends. However, when she steps foot there, she finds that Cristina's spirit is bound to her, much to her dismay. As if that weren't bad enough, she has to take her place at the threat of her life. The psyches of all these women are troubled, as well as those of the entire village in the wake of a change that could spell doom for everyone, but they need to find a way out. They must, even if it's not what any one of them might expect. *** Based on Prompt 80.
