No man is an island. But Jeff Green is trying hard.

Jeff changed after his mother moved out. It was better that way. Better not to feel, better not to care. Safer. No one seemed to notice anyway.

Then, years later, his mother invited him to visit her. Melody was as warm and as caring as he'd remembered. Or so he thought. And Jeff made a mistake. He started to open up, to trust. He'd forgotten about the pain.

Now he can't remember anything else.
