Charles is a man in his late fifties, married to Simone, with a regular job and his only child, Jack, is the apple of his eye. Then one day the police come to the door with terrible news - Jack has killed himself by jumping off a roof. A surreal and touching graphic memoir about the emotional void and confusion created for a father when his son commits suicide. The story is autobiographical and the main character is in fact Linthout himself, who draws an almost tangible pain with his immediate, rudimentary art and strong script combined with personal experience.
