Exploring the delicate balance between life and death, the narrative follows Henri Skinner, an ex-war reporter who, after a near-fatal accident, finds himself in a coma reliving childhood fairytales and facing buried secrets. His son, Sam, a brilliant synesthete, waits by his bedside, while they encounter Eddie, Henri's long-lost love, and Madelyn, a young coma patient. Together, these characters navigate themes of hope, loss, and love, creating a poignant reflection on memory and what gives life meaning in the face of mortality.
