A weathered dude, going by the name of Leo, suffers from cardiac malfunction and awakens in a vivid memory of his childhood home, where his long-gone mom assures him that he is also dead.

Then he meets Elise, a girl from his distant past, still shrouded in affection that he never cast aside. When she perished all those years ago, leaving a large void in his teenage heart, he had no doubt that she had been lost forever. Yet here they are, one aged and one still exuberantly young, in a world with no mirrors and no imperatives, where space folds and the inhabitants can shape-shift, sometimes involuntarily, but mostly on their own accord.

In between sexcapades, Leo tries to ponder the nature of this realm and little Lizzy sometimes squirms uncomfortably inside her own body, wishing to have grown old.

As time advances, secrets, taken literally to the grave, are revealed, sometimes with hard-hitting consequences. Then there's the drift, a phenomenon not quite unique, yet consuming Leo's mind. If his hypothesis is correct, then time will not be kind to Elise. To complicate matters, she is displaying signs, so far unfathomably foreign to this zombie world.
