After his wife Marjan dies in a car crash, Philip de Wit becomes completely devastated. It takes him months to return to a somewhat normal life, and even then he only works in his wife's bookstore. A year later, Eileen walks into the store, a girl from Northern Ireland with her baby in her arms. When Philip sees her, he is struck by her resemblance to his deceased wife. Obsessed with her, he goes to find her again, but he soon discovers that he is not the only one searching for Eileen.
