| Hatfield, Connecticut – Present Day For months Aly Garwood has been staying at Calcott Manor with Avangeline Forrester-Grantham getting to know the elderly lady. Aly was the lucky recipient of Avangeline’s grandson Malcolm Grantham’s liver after he tragically died. In a strange twist, Aly is hearing Malcolm’s thoughts inside her head. Avangeline’s family thinks that she’s there to rip off the elderly lady and is skeptical of her claims. One particular person has been notoriously abrupt with Aly: Merrick Knowles, a man she had a one-night stand with just before she arrived at Calcott Manor. The night he had sex with Aly, Merrick did not realize who she was. But the fact that she is cozying up to Avangeline, the woman who treats him like her grandson, is suspicious. Aly claims that she is having visions involving Malcolm and that she has nightmares about the plane crash that caused the death of Avangeline’s only sons. Is she lying, or are they real, and if so, why? Meanwhile, Aly and Merrick can’t forget their night together even if they try. Soon, they are hitting the sheets.
