Laura has a secret - a childhood tragedy she has never dared to share - and she fears herself incapable of love. When she meets Adam, her recurring childhood nightmare inexplicably returns. Frustrated by Laura's strange inhibitions, Adam persuades her to start facing up to the trauma she has buried. Her quest is charged with anger, grief and confusion, but, having started, Laura becomes obsessed with unravelling the mysteries of her past.
