One summer morning, Davie steps boldly out of his front door. The world he enters is very familiar but as the day passes, it becomes ever more mysterious. A boy has been killed, and Davie thinks he might know who is responsible. As the day goes on, the real and the imaginary start to merge, and Davie knows that neither he nor his world will ever be the same again.
