How can we face rejection, neglect, and the pain when escaping the abyss? These issues arise from the connected stories of two friends, Colton and Kyle, along with Whitney. Each of them shares the same time and space: a summer’s day, a river, a cliff under the railway. The death of the maiden and the discovery of her diary announce the beginning of a mystic, gloomy journey, among self deceptions, dreams, wonder and anxiety, parallel dimensions and the afterlife.
