A mystery that moves with the speed of a tropical storm. Buddy Rosen's comfortable life as a father, friend, and fun-loving kindergarten teacher, also includes an unusual hobby: collecting cast-off home movies he discovers at swap meets. As he views his most recent find, the flickering image of a man's face catches his eye, and the memories it evokes unleash a rip-tide of questions. With the suddenness of a summer downpour, the impact of that image expands from a dim and cloudy blur to a flood of dark and dangerous threats of his life, forcing Buddy to rethink everything he thought he knew about his past.
