Drama Synopsis
Matty has no memories of the summer after finishing high school, and the ones of his time in school are also very vague. One thing he does remember is that he enjoyed his own company and always kept himself to himself.
Two years later on his first day of university, he bumps into a ghost of his past, an overly-eccentric and outgoing girl called Amy, who introduces him to Lucy and James, two students who also keep to themselves.
The more time he spends with Amy, the more he begins to remember about her. However, the memories he has of Amy do not match the few memories he holds of his own childhood and youth, and he begins to question the reality he remembers.
