What happens when the woman of your dreams is the star of your nightmares?
A misanthropic former lawyer finds himself behind the wheel of a hit-and run accident in the Chicago suburbs; the eight-year-old girl who he hit did not survive. Tormented by guilt, he is driven to confess and make amends to the girl's family.
Instead, he finds himself falling in love with the girl's mother, whose marriage collapsed after the child's death. Rather than take accountability for his actions, he chooses to pursue her and keep the truth from her for both his and her own protection.
Found on a flash drive hidden in a hotel room, this "fictional" memoir serves as a detailed, heart-breaking confessional of a self-loathing, angry man still seeking meaning and forgiveness from the world, even in the twilight of his life. Whether his story is true or not, whether he deserves respect or condemnation, the decision is up to you…
