It was a sensational case, the sudden disappearance of local teenager Sally Lau, vanished one evening while exploring the reserve behind her family home with her best friend, Alice Watson, daughter of a petty criminal father and outcast mother.
Alice, now left behind and grieving the loss of the person she cared about more than anyone, struggles to understand what she saw that night - the lights, a long buried memory from her childhood, somehow come back to take Sally away.
As Alice fights to hold her life together and free herself from her father’s increasingly destructive grip, she clings to the hope that one day she will find Sally.
People keep telling her that Sally is dead.
But if Sally is dead, why can Alice still hear her voice?
Where are these discordant new memories coming from?
And why can’t Alice shake the feeling that while Sally may have left her world, she hasn’t left Sally’s?
