Nagimbal ang mundo ng labinpitong taong gulang na si Elyne nang matuklasan ang isang sikretong matagal na panahong inilihim sa kan’ya. Dala ng matinding galit, unti-unting binago ng masakit na katotohanang iyon ang tahimik niyang buhay. Iyon din ang nag-udyok sa kan’ya upang tahakin baluktot na landas na hindi niya ginusto. Kailanman ay hindi niya naisip na ganitong kapalaran ang ibinigay sa kan’ya ng mapaglarong tadhana. Ni sa hinagap ay hindi rin niya naisip na magiging magulo ang kan’yang buhay. Maniniwala pa kaya siya na babalik din ang lahat sa dati? Maniniwala pa kaya siya na darating ang araw na mararanasan niyang maging masaya ulit? Maniniwala pa kaya siyang pagsubok lang ang lahat ng nangyayari? Maniniwala pa kaya siyang mayro’n pang natitirang pag-asa? Pero paano nga ba niya magagawang maniwala kung pakiramdam niya, pati ang Diyos na lumikha’y kinalimutan na rin siya?
