Synopsis

Two very different sisters, Jessica and Gerry Dean, find a strange redemption. Jessica Dean, 24 and a war hero, dies in a car crash. Her ghost and memory haunt Roland Dean, her grieving father and former cop. Jessica also leaves behind a young fiancé, a clandestine May-December lover named General Douglas Lancaster, and her rebellious, drug-addicted half-sister, Gerry Dean. A fatal confrontation with gang members ultimately leads to Gerry Dean s unexpected recovery. A screenwriter named Mickey Gilmore discovers Jessica's private journal and adapts her story, seeking gold at the Emmys. Like another Dean, Jessica s story does not end in death, and her revealed legacy forces a new evaluation of a tragic family.
