 Jules (Mark Pawson) is haunted by the past, and the present. Awake in bed and transfixed by the sunlit contours of the feminine figure beside him, he is unable to touch her. When Rain (Catherine Thomas) stirs from her sleep, he recounts his reoccurring dream in which she leaves him. She confronts him about his aloofness, but his mind wanders, distracted by the incessant sound of dripping water. He finds himself walking in the ruins of his home town, Gagnon, since closed and demolished. Rain reminds him of a dinner party they are to attend, but he is only half attentive to her, trying desperately to write the story of Gagnon before his memories of it fade into obscurity. Determined to get through to him, she finds a mysterious scribbling in his date book which appears to reveal an infidelity.
