"Should anyone ever say anything to anyone, each of them die." When eight-year-old Greer Donner falls off his horse in the Washington wilderness, he braces himself to handle the long hike home exclusively. But screams pierce the darkness, and he stumbles upon a dead-end highway where a man is conquering a woman - practically to loss of life. In an instant of courage, he prevents the assault, but he's still left to face the person, who converts his wrath into an ominous menace: if the boy ever unveils what he has seen, his family can pay the ultimate price. The trick Greer now holds begins his emotional unraveling. In Seattle, Gillian Trett is a photographer with a troubled matrimony and a childhood she's wanting to forget. Domestic stress mounts when her husband's stepsister will come. Desperate for a distraction, and a way to advance her profession, Gillian throws herself into uncovering the annals behind a vintage man's Holocaust photography of young boys in a forest. The incomprehensible children and the reality behind the landscape haunt her - she can't forget about the image, or of her own shadowed history. A horrifying revelation entangles Gillian's path with young Greer's. The boy and the woman, separated by the generation and 100 mls, each confront the horrible ability of harbored secrets - not and then eclipse the reality but also to light up the dark, unfamiliar dimensions of their loved ones and themselves.
