"I have travelled to a place that you cannot buy a ticket to; there is
no train that goes there, no boat, no plane; there is no map that you
can follow to find it; there is no road. It lies on the other side of
that circle of light."
Sarah is traveling with her young son back to her home town in the south
of New Zealand. But when debris from an earthquake closes the road
before her, she is forced to extend her journey and divert through the
places from her youth that she had hoped never to return to. As the
memories of her childhood resurface, Sarah knows that for the sake of
her son, she must face up to them now or be lost forever.
