Wow! Meet Timothy Hole, a successful adman who has been handed the biggest assignment of his life, marketing a major cola in Russia. But what happens next to Timothy Hole will shock you. You will actually go back into time from New York 1985-1989 to London 1979-1985 to Sheffield 1964 - 1979 and finally to The Old Buildings 1964 to 1979. Timothy Hole almost loses his life in a car accident and out from nowhere appears a mysterious little boy.

The reader will enter a world in which Timothy Hole is at an exclusive party, he is a collector of bird's eggs and these eggs are accidently destroyed, which sends Timothy into a tail spin on the edge of madness. From a sushi bar to an airflight, Timothy is haunted with the image of the little boy. The story has a taste of Twilight Zone strangeness or a goppleganger effect that leaves the reader on a slippery edge of the dark and bizarre.

Timothy looks for the missing kid on his flight and things get even weirder when Timothy thinks he has full fare and the ticket man shows him that he has a child's ticket for Sheffield and not the full fare. The little boy when confronting Timothy actually tells him that he is out to kill him. Timothy is lead to a secret spot where in the ground, bugs were buried alive. When they are released, be surprised to find out the true connection between the mysterious boy and Timothy!! This story is a maddening tale of an ordinary man that will have his life changed forever, a haunting past that tackles his life in the present!
