Awake, My Love
takes place in your own hometown and is a romp through time and space. Due to a car accident, our couple get an answer to the question, "What would happen if you lost everything?" Through dream sequences, he becomes a cowboy, she a Miss Kitty in the Old West; she a medieval princess, he her defender; he a talking dolphin, she a ballerina; plus much more. Ultimately, they face their fears and learn all they have, and all they have to lose."
