Yu-jin’s mom may not have had his best interests at heart. Yu-jin narrates, telling a compelling, disturbing tale as he tries to piece together the events that might have led to his mother’s death. Could he have killed his own mother? It sure seems that way, even if he can’t remember doing it, and the fact that he hasn’t been taking his anti-seizure medication doesn’t help. He explores the house, hoping for more clues as to what happened, and is surprised to find his late father’s straight razor covered in blood in his room. He follows the trail of gore to find his mother lying at the bottom of the stairs with her throat cut. One morning, he wakes covered in blood, “clots of the stuff” hanging off his clothes. Twenty-five-year-old Yu-jin lives in a sparkling modern apartment with his mother, has an adopted brother with whom he’s close, and he’s waiting to hear if he’s been accepted into law school. A young man desperately tries to fill in gaps in his memory when he realizes he may have brutally murdered his own mother.
