There had always been the Running Man - always that phantom from somewhere in the distance, always shuffling relentlessly closer …

 

Tom Leyton, a reclusive Vietnam veteran, has been the subject of rumour and gossip for thirty years.  When Joseph Davidson, his young neighbour and a talented artist, is asked to draw a portrait of him, an uneasy relationship begins to unfold, one that will force each of them to confront his darkest secrets.

 

This is a story about how we perceive others, the judgments we make about them, how we cope with tragedy, and the nature of miracles.
