All Imogene knows of her mother is the bedtime story her father told her as a child. It's the story of how her parents met: he, a forensic pathologist; she, a mysterious woman who came to identify a body. A woman who left Imogene and her father when Imogene was a baby, a woman who was always possess of a powerful loneliness. Now Imogene is seventeen, and when her father disappears, she is convinced he's looking for her mother. And she decides it's up to her to find him and, perhaps, the answer to the question she's carried with her for her entire life.
