Robin and Harry are two artist who as young newlyweds went to Tangiers. It was there that Dillon was born. They adored their son even though he was a challenge. Since his birth it was rare for them to get a good night's sleep. On the day of Robin's birthday she is working late. Harry is planning a wonderful dinner for her when he realizes her present is still at his friend's house. Since Dillon is sleeping hard (makes you wonder doesn't it?) he decides to leave him and run his errand. And that is when the earthquake hits. When he returns back to his home there is nothing but ruins - and Dillon's body is never found.
The story fast-forwards five years. Robin and Harry are back in their native Dublin and getting on with life. Harry's obsession with Dillon has been manifested through a series of sketches showing Dillon growing up on canvas. He has never shared those with anyone - including Robin. One day in the middle of a mob scene he catches a glimpse of Dillon with a woman. He fights his way through the crowd but he loses sight of them. He now believes that Dillon survived the earthquake or maybe he is losing his mind.
This was an interesting plot that kept me guessing.
