Plot

After the death of her father, Laurie and her mother and sister make their summer vacation house their permanent residence. After starting school, Laurie's friends see her in places where she wasn't, and accuse her of doing things she didn't do. Her own sister even accuses her of trying to choke her in her sleep.

She learns that she was adopted, and not only that, but she had a twin sister but was separated from her when her parents adopted her. She tracks down her twin sister Lia, and learns she has been astral projecting herself to Laurie. Lia teaches Laurie how to astral project herself, and when Laurie finally masters it, Lia enters her body.

Laurie learns that Lia was never adopted, and spent her life in the foster system. She learned about Laurie after reading an article about her father, who was a famous painter. Lia got into an accident after trying to kill her foster sister, and has been in a coma ever since. She was teaching Laurie how to astral project so she could steal her body all along. And since Lia lies unconscious in a mental hospital, Laurie can't habitate her body and warn her family and friends about the stranger with her face.
