Description:
A warm romance and tense mystery, former runaway Magpie must piece together a forgotten yesterday while trying to escape his past.
One morning, Magpie wakes up from a blackout in a Seattle alleyway wearing someone else’s coat. In the pocket, he finds a golden ring and a napkin with his own phone number written on it. Initially dismissing it as just another eventful night lost to memory, Magpie’s friends help him reconstruct the events and a disturbing picture begins to form: Someone from his past has found him and wants revenge. Having avoided reckoning with his time spent as a young runaway in Portland, Magpie must now face that history and the people he loved and hurt there. His journey through the past eleven years of his life paints a raw, compassionate portrait of human suffering and resilience as he grapples with recollections of homelessness, addiction, and hope.
