Life misfires sometimes. Spinning, Liv has fled to a seemingly abandoned captain’s house along the Nova Scotian seaside—where two figures equally impossible to reconcile emerge from the distant past through a cloud of plaster and sawdust.
One is all too real, sledgehammer in hand.
The other she cannot classify.
A second coming-of-age follows the first. In a spectral exchange of friendship and reckonings, Liv coaxes out and borrows the nerve of a stout spirit to seize what was always meant to be hers.
