Five months since the disappearance of their backpacker son, Adam, all Lia and Nick can cling to is a vague email mentioning Jakarta and the possibility that, somewhere, he may be alive. Unsure who to turn to, or even whether he's alive or dead, they frantically seek clues, comfort and strength. Then, out of the blue, a lost young man appears at the airport looking uncannily like Adam and holding his passport. Lia invites him to stay at their family home until his memory returns. But all is not what it seems and gradually a dark truth emerges.
