Premise
editVera, a facilitator for a grief group, meets a young man who says when his mother died she told him he was adopted. Some of his confused early memories remind her of her own childhood and her younger brother - who disappeared in rural Sweden 20 years previously, in 1984. Vera is on probation in her job since she became sexually involved with a client. This relationship is said to have ended and her sessions with the group are currently under observation by a manager until she is deemed to be stable enough to rejoin their practice and work independently.
