Этот бестселлер Джозефин Кокс рассказывает историю о побеге от тайны, но тоске по дому.
Дом - это то место, где живет сердце, но это также место, где прячется боль... После трагического несчастного случая с его матерью и исчезновения отца, юный Дэви сбегает из своего родного города Блэкберн, чтобы избежать мучительных воспоминаний о худшей ночи в своей молодой жизни. С собой у него лишь рубашка на плечах и твердая решимость найти отца. Он отправляется в одинокое, бездружное путешествие.
Тем временем, те, кого Дэви оставил позади, тревожно ждут: Кэтлин, его детская подруга, хранящая в сердце тайну, и Джозеф, его дедушка, чья вина сжигает его душу. Увидят ли они когда-нибудь Дэви снова?
В конце концов, Дэви находит друга и место, где остановиться. Возможно, теперь его сердце и разум обретут покой. Но его надежды оказываются недолгими, когда Судьба побуждает его решить - продолжать бежать или вернуться и встретиться лицом к лицу со своими демонами.
