"I remember when you were five," Patrick tells his friend Steven. "I remember you were strange when you first started at the school in town."
But Steven doesn't remember, or does he? A stranger's name is suddenly vivid and familiar. He can recall being alone on a road in the middle of nowhere; in a house full of people in a city far from where he lives with his mum and baby brother. His mother, picking up the pieces of her own life, evades Steven's questions about the past. It is only chance and coincidence that begin to explain the mystery of his memories and the fear that accompanies them.
