A run-down former estate settlement somewhere in recent Hungary, missing even from maps: among its ruins live a few people, seven men and a teenage girl, whose personalities slowly dissolve like a bruise. Their past is amnesia, their present blind. Built from mosaic pieces, the novel scans this borderland closely, recording the desperate patterns of action and last human struggles of lives reduced to bare survival, with sharp, unsparing and melancholy irony.
