But when she arrives, her father isn’t at the station to welcome her as planned. A few days pass but still he doesn’t materialise. It’s as if he’s vanished into thin air, and when Rosemay repeatedly questions her mother, the latter continually contradicts herself. Harbouring an intuition of what the truth really is, Rosemay learns to listen to herself, to write and to betray the ones she loves…
