Elly and David Ward lost their daughter three-and-a-half years ago, and nothing reminds them more of this than seeing the children trick-or-treating on their street on Halloween night. She was twelve. Neither parent has dealt very well with the loss of their child. David has introverted and spends his nights in his deceased daughter’s bed. Elly has just had a meaningless affair. But now, it’s Halloween night and their memories are strong with their daughter’s death…and the children that they blame for it.
