Twelve years after Journey to Fulfillment, we find Erika working as a music teacher in a small town, where she befriends Kate, a fellow tenant at her boarding house. Kate is alcoholic and struggling with the side effects of repressed memories from her childhood (severe physical abuse, incest); she finally comes to terms with her past after a disastrous date (not rape) and a severe accident. Kate visits her shrink for the last time and walks into the sunset with Erika.
