After his release from psychiatric prison due to insufficient evidence for his charge of sexual assault, Jonathan returns to his seaside hometown and the cramped house he shares with his infirm mother.
Soon Jonathan discovers that he has a new neighbour – a young girl, left to fend for herself by her parents and desperate for attention and friendship. Afraid of making the same mistake as before, Jonathan tries to keep the girl at arm’s length, using the exercises he learnt from his prison therapist to control his feelings, but as life in the outside world becomes increasingly difficult he seems to be losing control…
This controversial subject matter is treated with subtlety and intelligence by Schilperoord, who uses her experience as a criminal psychologist to weave a nerve-wreckingly tense and unsettlingly believable story.
