Now Hester has returned home, where each Christmas season sees a ballet performed in the little theater on Twelfth Night. Just before the company arrives this year, however, Hester receives a phone call that brings back haunting memories. As the dancers prepare for the opening night of Sarabande, loyalties shift, tempers flare, and the past comes crashing into the present in ways that Hester could never have imagined.
