Lewis Sinclaire's earliest memory is that wherein his mother kisses him on the forehead and wishes him a happy birthday on the very day that she abandoned him. He never saw her again, but the memory is a happy one, nonetheless. But is a memory a true facsimile of what actually happened?

Then, at his father's ‘lockdown’ funeral, a stranger appears, who changes his mind completely...
