When Karl wakes up in a derelict house on the edge of a mining town, he has no memory of who he is or how he got there. The townsfolk, however, seem to recognize him - and that unsettles him more than his own amnesia. Next door lives ten-year old Henri, a quiet boy trapped in a home ruled by a violent drug dealing father and a mother powerless to protect him. Through a gap in the hedge between their yards, Henry slips into Karl's life, and an unlikely, gentle friendship begins to form. When a drug deal spirals out of control, Henry's mother is killed. Her body is dumped in a disused mineshaft, but its discovery triggers a murder investigation that threatens to expose long buried truths. It becomes clear that nothing and no one is quite what they seem.
