A haunting vision of courage and cowardice

Zed is a charismatic, cocky teenager who finds himself pressed into revealing dangerous secrets about his past and the fiery events that transformed him. Always before Zed regarded his former self as a snivelling coward, but as he recalls the frightening details of his ordeal, he begins to wonder whether his transformation from a shy, frightened child into a cool, competent survivor was in fact a good thing.
