Everybody’s life consists of decisions – some major and some minor. That chance meeting; an article seen in a paper or a debate at a major cross road – can influence or drastically change a person’s life for ever. What is the role of luck and how rational are our choices? Luke Sheppard is an academic historian, who decides on retirement to find out what happened to Julie, with whom he had a passionate encounter over thirty years ago. He sets out on a path of discovery with consequences he could never have foreseen. A life spent analysing the past does not prepare him for what he finds or how his life will change.
