Sam leads a glamorous life as U.S. Ambassador to Singapore while trapped in a dull dating arrangement with Kate... or is he?
Despite passing the good nights in his world of dreams, Sam is no longer sure which alternate reality is true anymore.
Is he a diplomat in Singapore, discussing politics with his intellectually stimulating partner, Kate, and struggling with finding passion in their relationship...
...or a surgeon in Los Angeles, in love with the art curator Shiva?
His casual relationship with Kate is real, but what if his dreams become more tangible than reality itself?
Will Shiva awaken something in Sam? Or, if not, maybe beautiful Céline or the mysterious Lara will? How many dreams can one live in, really?
Follow Sam as he struggles to find answers to his dilemma:
What is more fulfilling—a complicated relationship with Kate in real life or an exciting crush on the women in his dreams?
Can you have a double life? Double you? Double love, at once?
What does it really mean to date someone, anyway?
Where does fantasy end and reality begin?
From opulent diplomatic receptions in Singapore to operating rooms in LA, from strolls through elegant Parisian streets to the dramatic cityscape of Dubai, join Sam on a mind-bending journey of the quest for love, the power of dreams, and the harshness of reality.
Chances are, you will never look at fantasies the same way again...
And who knows, maybe in the coming nights you, too, will have your own dreams of destiny...
