Annie is 17 and goes back to the Victorian Era a second time to not only reunite with a lost lover, but to escape her parents' problems and she discovers some things about herself on the way as well. She has to overcome many obstacles in order to get to the asylum where her love (Strat, whom she had to leave almost a year ago) is confined because he told someone about her.
