      « Je ne peux pas me souvenir de mon nom », se répète sans cesse une jeune femme, regardant par la fenêtre d'un train en marche. Elle se dirige vers un petit village dans le Wiltshire, un billet de train et une adresse trouvés dans la poche de son manteau étant les seules choses auxquelles elle peut s'accrocher. À son arrivée à Londres, elle ne parvient pas à se rappeler son nom ni comment elle a perdu son sac à main. Un homme au guichet des objets trouvés lui a conseillé de rentrer chez elle, car dans un environnement familier, la perte de mémoire temporaire se résout généralement rapidement. Tard dans la soirée, elle arrive à une maison à toit de chaume et sonne. « J'habite ici, c'est ma maison », déclare-t-elle à Tony et Laura, qui lui ouvrent. Les jeunes mariés l'invitent à entrer, mais affirment tous deux que la maison leur appartient et ne la connaissent pas. Pourtant, elle se sent étonnamment à l'aise chez eux. Tony et Laura, bienveillants, souhaitent l'aider, mais sont perplexes. La jeune femme, qui ne se souvient pas de son nom, perçoit leur inquiétude. Ce qu'elle sait avec certitude, c'est qu'au moins une personne ici ment froidement. Ce thriller psychologique captivant est rempli de rebondissements inattendus, alternant les points de vue des protagonistes et des autres personnages, ce qui enrichit les portraits et intensifie la tension. Une exploration de la mémoire trompeuse et des passions cachées.
