Following the death of his mother, Tom, a fourteen-year-old Chinese boy, returns to school. Seeking normalcy, he is disturbed by recurring dreams of his mother. Ultimately, he is forced to deal with his denial of both anger and grief. The story explores the complex relationship between a boy and his mother. It is about the resentment he feels towards his mother's dependency and the longing he feels for his mother's protective embrace.
