Callie's father has
disappeared. He simply didn't come home from work one
day. No warning. No reason. He is just
gone. As Callie tries to come to terms with her father's
disappearance, her friends try to help her cope. When
they take her to an art exhibit, Callie cannot believe her
eyes. There in a photograph from the 1906 earthquake is
a man who looks exactly like Callie's father. Of course
that can't be him. The story then shifts to the
earthquake's aftermath and we meet a man who cannot remember
who he is and how he got there. How can these two
stories be related?
