Paul lives quietly in a northern town. By day, he works at a cafe; by night, he channels his anguish into the dark, arresting panels of his graphic novel, burying childhood trauma beneath ink and imagination. When a chance conversation with a family member shatters this fragile equilibrium, he makes a decision that will change his life: he goes to the police. As rage, doubt and exhaustion threaten to overwhelm him, Paul must decide how far he is willing go in pursuit of the truth.
