Victor leaves the home of his foster mother to take his first job in another town but stops on a remote island to visit his uncle who he has never met. Surrounded by an atmosphere of death and decay Victor and his uncle symbolise opposite attitudes to life and their existential effects: stillness and movement, light and dark, openness and withdrawal. Ultimately, Victor, in balancing the differences between himself and the old man who has never known love, chooses his own path with hope.
"Victor leaves the home of his foster mother to begin his working life. His journey takes him to a remote island, where he visits his only relative, an uncle he has never met. The old man, who has never known love, lives in a barricaded mansion, surrounded by an atmosphere of death and decay. Victor finds himself a virtual prisoner on this mysterious island and must confront his own past in order to regain control of his life--Publisher's description."
