Lisa and Arthur meet only once a year. All year long he spends searching for his beloved. And she spends waiting for the meeting with him. Lisa dreamed of becoming an actress. To pay for her studies, she took a job at a bar in Manhattan, where she met the young doctor Arthur Costello one day. It was love at first sight—with the first spark. But Arthur isn’t like everyone else. If a few years ago someone had told him what would happen to him, he would never have believed it and would have called it a bad dream. Today, though, for him that “dream” is a terrible reality. More than anything, he wants to escape the trap time—his most powerful enemy—has set for him. But fighting alone isn’t possible. It’s Lisa who can become his ally. But will she have the courage?
