Lizette Solomon is a 32-year-old American College graduate-turned-professor at The International University of San Francisco. She is engaged to Keith Morris, a 34-year-old Healthcare physician. When she receives a job offer to teach English at one of Brazil's top international colleges, Lizette is elated by the news and eagerly accepts the job offer. Her and her fiancé soon move to Rio De Janeiro shortly after. While on tour in their new environment, they scour the Brazilian capital in search of a place nearby the college. Lizette then comes across a villa that she, ironically enough, feels inexplicably drawn to, leading her to enthusiastically rent the Brazilian home after a brief tour through the household. Life is wonderful at first--new job, new co-workers, new friends, new students eager to learn, and a wonderful man who loves her so............

Until, several days after moving in, strange, odd occurrences start to happen. While cleaning and renovating their new home, they go upstairs into the attic and discover piles of paper written with text in different languages--one in Brazilian Portuguese and the other in what appears to be Chinese. Much to their surprise, Lizette is able to easily decipher what each and every word means in English--she can understand the written texts in both languages easily and without much effort. Curious as to how she could understand both Portuguese and Chinese, Keith asks if she's taken any prior classes or had any tutoring in the aforementioned languages. Shockingly, Lizette claims to have absolutely no recollection whatsoever of having any prior studies or tutoring in said languages and states that she just instinctively knew. Even stranger, Lizette begins to have dreams about a tall, mysterious, yet handsome and charismatic young man with East Asian features, two teenagers who also look Asian and four beautiful children: 3 toddlers and an infant. Not to mention, she begins seeing said Asian man out in public places when she is alone. In addition, random Brazilians and fellow expatriates alike claim to have either seen, met or known her before. As if that wasn't crazy enough, whenever random, strange men approach her and stalk, harass, touch or attempt to harm her in any way, they mysteriously end up badly beaten, injured or maimed........by what appears to be an invisible force.

By random chance, Lizette comes across the portrait of the same young man that she's been seeing in her dreams and out in public. When she inquires about his identity, she learns that his name is Keiichiro Nakamura. Keiichiro Nakamura was a 27-year-old Japanese expatriate to Brazil and Diplomat who lived with his fiancée, an American Elementary School Teacher, his teenage fraternal twin siblings Sayaka and Junya and their four children: triplets Kenta, Akira and Jasmine and their infant baby sister, Lily. But the biggest shock of all was what Lizette discovers next--that his fiancée bears an uncanny, mirror-image resemblance to her. According to the caption underneath the photograph, her name was Rochelle. Lizette then embarks on yet another investigation--one into her own family's background. She then learns from her family that she once had an identical twin sister named Rochelle. Lizette then comes to the conclusion that her identical twin sister Rochelle once went to Tokyo, met a man named Keiichiro, moved to Brazil with him and his siblings, had four children with him, and they mysteriously disappeared some time afterwards.

But why is Lizette herself able to understand both Brazilian Portuguese and Japanese? Why is she having dreams about Keiichiro, his siblings and his children? Why is she the only one seeing him in public places? Why
