Synopsis
After many years spent in a psychiatric institution, Spider is transferred to a halfway house in East London. It is only a few streets away from the place where he grew up and where a drama took place that changed the course of his life.
He was eleven when, he’s sure, his father killed his mother and replaced her with a prostitute with whom he’d fallen in love.
Back on the scene of the crime, Spider sinks deeper into his memories and sets out on a strange investigation. He’ll discover that there is something worse than losing your mind: finding it again…
