You might be wondering what a diary from 1991 has to do with you. You're about to find out. Those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it
Twenty-four-year-old Cheyenne Florian has just received her dream job offer. On the strength of a few vlogs, shes recruited to be the new correspondent on the recently hatched Independent News Network, INN.
With the slogan Because independent thinking is the only way out, INN has branded itself as innovative. Yet once Cheyenne joins the INN team, she finds age-old dynamics in play. Some of the female staff resent her meteoric rise, while a number of the men are only too happy to welcome her. Then theres the diary left for her anonymously, written in 1991 by a female broadcaster named Elyse Rohrbach. The mysterious diary is accompanied by a note, urging Cheyenne to learn from the past. She wants to believe its intended as inspiration and friendly advice, or at most, a warning. But as disturbingand increasingly dangerousparallels begin to emerge, she starts to wonder if something more sinister is at work.
Its almost as if someone is engineering the similarities in Cheyennes life to match those from Elyses past, like shes a pawn in a very twisted game. But Cheyenne is determined to rewrite the rules and play her own game. Though theyre separated by more than twenty-five years, Elyse and Cheyenne are forced to learn the same lesson: Nothing is more threatening than a woman who doesnt yet know her own power
