Danielle has a nightmare about her rival, Marjorie Fox. Marjorie is after her boyfriend, Daren. She meets her on the beach and throws her in the trunk of her car. She takes Marjorie to the base of an old oak tree in her front yard and throws her into a gaping dark hole. But the nightmare turns on Danielle. As she tries to get away, a low-hanging branch grabs hold of her long reddish gold hair. She ends up swinging from the tree by her hair. She wakes up in her bed with her long, waist-length hair wrapped around her neck and must struggle to disentangle herself from it. Even worse, when she goes downstairs for breakfast, she sees a strange person she has never seen before hanging around the very same oak tree staring back at her. It was just a dream, wasn't it? Or was the nightmare something else? Danielle had better figure it out pretty soon. Either that or she had better get a haircut.
