"A life without love is like a summerless garden, with all its flowers bare." A soldier returns home after seven years in the Middle East to find that his wife has deserted him and his teenage daughter disavows him. When he becomes involved with the woman who has been minding his business, it becomes evident that he suffers from a traumatic brain injury, plagued by constant pain, hallucinations, and nightmares. The town constable launches an investigation into his wife's disappearance, but the daughter knows more than she lets on. As the search unfolds, all their lives become entangled in an intricate web of suspicion, denial, and deceit.
