Bevor wir alle unsere Türen schlossen.« - Im Schlafzimmer über ihrem riesigen Atelier in Burntcoat trifft die berühmte Bildhauerin Edith Harkness letzte Vorbereitungen. Die Symptome, die ihr Körper zeigt, sind bekannt: Ihr Leben wird in den nächsten Tagen zu Ende gehen. Ihr Atelier gleicht einem glühenden Ofen, befeuert von Erinnerungen und Sehnsüchten.
