Description
A college student's life is irrevocably altered by a brutal assault, leading her to form an unlikely bond with an elderly man suffering from mental illness at a homeless shelter. As she delves into his past, she uncovers a hidden history of a once-celebrated photographer, whose evocative images hint at a life of glamour and profound sorrow. This journey into the photographer's mysterious decline becomes an obsession, intertwining with the protagonist's own search for understanding and healing. Bohjalian masterfully weaves a tale of suspense, psychological depth, and profound humanity, exploring themes of homelessness, mental illness, and the elusive nature of truth.
