The living give birth to the non-living. In other words, death is the child and his mother is life. After William's death, Caitlyn no longer remembers how to live without her brother's cancer. Along with Will, she too has lost pieces of herself in the engulfing disease. She feels alone and disconnected from everyone else. She doesn't know who she is anymore. Her home in London becomes unbearable, pushing her to run away to Vienna, a place that suits the musician inside of her perfectly. In Vienna, she meets Theophilus, who finds her busking on the streets and soon everything begins to fall back into place. But once Theophilus begins to open up about his past, Caitlyn realizes that getting away from the missing pieces of her brother's death isn't as easy as she thought.
