When he meets an old friend, he is reminded of a name he has not heard for many years: Lettie Hempstock.

Striving to come to terms with his newly unknowable world, together with his new friend Lettie he must reckon with ancient forces that threaten to destroy everything and in turn learn to trust others to find his own feet.
