Plot Summary of Chase the Past
"Courtney Long has been committed to a mental institution against her will. Despite her attempts to convince the medical staff that she's perfectly sane, the staff regards her as insane. Desperate to free herself, Courtney stages a successful break out from the asylum.

Determined to get to the bottom of the conspiracy against her, Courtney is determined to track down her husband Justin Tanner and get some answers. Courtney had a three week whirlwind courtship with Justin during which he swept her off her feet. When Courtney arrives at her former home in Aspen she comes face to face with Justin Tanner. Problem is, the Justin Tanner that greets her is not the Justin Tanner she dated and married. Courtney quickly realizes that the Justin Tanner she married was an imposter. As Courtney joins forces with the real Justin Tanner to resolve the mystery surrounding her she begins to unravel secrets regarding a decades old murder. As Courtney and Justin start to fall in love they must elude a killer who is determined to exact the ultimate revenge against Courtney."

Sandra Calhoune, Resident Scholar
