Synopsis

Composed entirely of one man's letters, this brilliantly unsettling debut examines the terrifying power of the mind to deceive, not only others but - most destructively of all - ourselves.

'I've probably lied to you. That's habit. I lie to everyone about my family...' Daniel Laird has returned to Norfolk after a nine-year absence to care for his ailing artist father. He describes his uneasy homecoming in a series of letters to his sister, his boss, and to Alice, his one true love.

But it is not until he discovers a hidden cache of his father's paintings that the truth begins to surface about why he left all those years ago. The more Daniel writes, the more we learn about his past and the more we begin to fear for those he holds dear.
