Struggling artists Harry and Robin adapt to life as new parents in the vibrant city of Essaouira, Morrocco – until one evening, everything changes. Three-year-old Dillon is left sleeping alone for the briefest of moments when an earthquake hits. Harry races back to rescue his child, only to find his apartment in rubble and no evidence of his son.  

Three years later, thousands of miles away in Dublin, Harry spots a six-year-old boy in a crowd – a boy he is convinced is Dillon. Harry sets out to prove his son is still alive, even if his obsession jeopardises his marriage and unearths shameful secrets.
