A man held captive in a small room for decades had lost all hope of escape. One day a maple leaf, carried by the wind, enters his room through a small window - setting off a chain of events that give him the will to attempt a daring escape.
After years of abuse, no outside contact, and total tyranny of his physical and metaphysical self - can he find a way to break free of the walls within his mind and the walls which surround him in reality?
A story that explores the passage of time, good and evil, living with the concept of death, and the sheer power of one's will to survive.
