History

Sam never thought he would see his hometown Basswood again. The tragic death of Nick, his best friend, impels him to come back and bid him a last farewell.

Confronted by the ghosts of his past, Sam will have to face some painful memories as well as the people he left two years before.

His old love Anna, his goddaughter Joan, all the people he cared about and cut himself off from… What kind of welcome is he going to get when he returns?

CHARACTERS

Sam

A former investigative journalist, Sam, 33, has an unusually analytical mind. Its unique abilities take the form of a multifaceted Mind Palace.

It’s this unique mind that can lead him to dissociate from the social arena, where his logical, analytical personality sometimes hurts those around him.

However, Sam can count on help from the Double, a more empathic and sociable version of himself that only he can see. This ally is there to guide him and help him blend into a society that sometimes rejects the unorthodox.

Through these human qualities the Double is able to offer Sam an alternative when he needs to make important decisions.

His double

Anna Miller

Anna, 31, is a freelance journalist at Basswood Jungle, the local newspaper. She’s an independent woman with a strong moral compass.

Also from Basswood, she cares about people and is an activist for causes that matter to her. She once had a love affair with Sam but left him several years ago.

Like Sam, she’ll do anything to solve the mystery around the death of Nick, with whom she had recently been in a relationship.

Joan “Bug” Waldron

Joan, 13, is a smart teenager, independent and very mature for her age. She tries to keep her emotions to herself because she can’t stand the hypocrisy of the adults around her.

She loves graphic novels and cycling, and she would like to study insects because she finds them fascinating. She’s very angry at Sam, her godfather, for leaving town and not being in touch for years. Rocked by her father’s recent death, will she be able to forgive Sam for not being there?

Nicholas “Nick” Waldron

Nick, aged 35 when he died, was Sam’s best friend.

Determined, meticulous, and passionate about his work as a journalist, his recent discoveries had led him to become increasingly distant from girlfriend Anna and daughter Joan.

His tragic death raises many questions…
