Lily’s life isn’t going well. Her husband is clueless; her children are 
rudderless. It's little wonder she seeks comfort in her dreams, unaware 
that her grandmother’s rubies have transported her back through time to a
 safer, saner existence. When she learns her dream lover is not a dream 
after all, but a real man who lived and died years before she was born, 
family problems mount. Because she can’t repair the damage from the 
past, she vows to stay in the here and now. She almost succeeds when she
 accidentally sends herself back in time without her return ticket, the 
rubies.
