Kristen Matthews might be any typical Oregon college girl. She studies, works, listens to music, goes to parties, volunteers, and plays in the snow. She is also a chronic daydreamer. Kristen allows her mind to carry her far away and revel in new experiences while she battles internally with the desire to daydream and the fear of losing all touch with the real world around her. Her relationships with her father and her friends plunge her further into confusion and doubt as she fights the self-diagnosis of insanity.
