When seventeen-year-old Sven accidentally burns his mother's house down, he thinks his only choice is to leave town. In pursuit of him are his mother, Erin, and his aunt, Rina. Sven travels to the West Coast and develops a special ability: every time he blinks, he knows the first and last names of the people he meets, and the stories that motivate them. He funds his expedition with money stolen from a dangerous man named Craig. When Craig notices his money's missing, he gets his guns ready and stalks the teenager through the great chasm of the Okanagan Valley, past an urban mead house, to an island off the Coast of British Columbia, and up a mystical mountain on Vancouver Island. Northern European mythos blends with the reality of Sven's coming-of-age adventure in this quirky tragic comedy.
