Then one day with a heart full of agony Pearl drops Leonard off with Mitch and never returns.
How do you go on loving someone who isn't there? With Leonard's absolute conviction in 'forever love' always present Leonard and Mitch grow up side by side and piece together the layered truths and fictions of their almost magical lives.
