Synopsis

While walking across the heath late one evening, criminal barrister Callum Scott suffers a savage blow to the head. Yet he can't help but feel lucky when he learns that another man was attacked at the same spot a week earlier - and didn't survive.

Callum didn't get away scot-free, however - the trauma to his skull has caused a rare condition affecting his eyesight. And just as he is adjusting to this unsettling disability, the police tell him they believe the murder on the heath was a mistake - Cal was the intended victim all along. Now every creak and moving shadow fills his world with danger and suspicion.

Someone is watching Callum, someone who has known him for many years. They share sweet and sour memories, and a misunderstood secret . . .
