Counselling, yoga, pills, meditation, art, healthy living ... none of it makes a dent. What's left?Magpie is out of ideas. She's desperate enough to try anything. Just when she thinks her life can get no worse, she discovers herself, or rather her own dead body, partially buried in the mudbank of a river. A man stands by, a familiar stranger. What does he want? And why can't she remember getting here? Why can't she remember anything?Unbeknownst to her, two pairs of eyes watch from behind an observation screen, in a room filled with computers and sensors.
