From the first moment she arrives in Thailand Pim experiences extremely vivid flashbacks of painful memories that she has tried so hard to forget.

Now as her memories slowly comes back and the pieces of the puzzle begin to start to fall into place Pim eventually recognizes just what that innate sense of warmth is... It is the feeling of being attached to another person by an organ that bonds two lives in such a way that she could never be free. But that would be impossible?

And this is just the beginning of a horrifying realization that Pim will never be allowed to ever forget... what does not want to be forgotten!
