Ten years ago, Gabriel awoke in a hospital bed, with no memories of his past. He had fled war, the doctors said, his parents were dead, and he was not to search for them. Nightmares haunted his nights, images of a little boy in a burning blue house. In 2035, Gabriel is a successful businessman in New York, the city he calls home. He loves the impersonality of crowds and the towering skyscrapers, which shelter him from the battlefield Montreal has become, only a few miles away. On the day of a promising interview for his career, Gabriel receives a phone call from Sonia, his girlfriend. Forced to face their deteriorating relationship, he will dangerously venture into the past, and ask questions he could regret.
