Autumn 1999 - A year has passed since Lucy Darby's unexpected death, leaving her husband David and son Whitley to mend the gaping hole in their lives. David, a trauma-site cleanup technician, spends his nights expunging the remains of strangers, helping families move on, though he cannot. Whitley--an eleven-year-old social pariah known as the Kid--hasn't spoken since his mother's death. Instead, he communicates through a growing collection of notebooks, living in a safer world of his own silent imagining. As the arrival of Y2K casts a shadow of uncertainty around them, their own precarious reality begins to implode. Questions about Lucy's death haunt David while the Kid, who believes she is alive, enlists the help of his misfit friends to bring her back. Soon David and the Kid begin to uncover truths that will force them to confront their deepest fears about each other and the wounded family they are trying desperately to save.
