Alexander is an autistic child. His mother Ingrid is worn out from trying to care for and love a son who never once has acknowledged her existence except to bite and kick and scream in terror. Their housekeeper is the only one who manages somehow to soothe and pacify him, and whose steadfast loyalty becomes Ingrid's only source of comfort. But then everything changed. The child who is terrified of water, and in particular of taking a bath, is found floating face down in an overflowing tub early one morning, drowned, with bruises on his neck and the marks of abuse clearly visible on his frail body. Is it murder or accidental death? What will the autopsy reveal? Can the intricate workings of Alexander's locked up mind ever be uncovered or understood?
