Mysterious pearls start to appear and the sounds they make trigger memories in our protagonist, which eventually help him to return. The story can be described as magical realism, suggestive and at times terrifying.

The reason his daughter has sought him out is that her own child has been abducted, and she has no one else to turn to...
