Cat est partie s'installer à Los Angeles, loin de sa ville natale d'Edimbourg, et de sa sœur jumelle, El, dont elle est sans nouvelles depuis de longues années. La première partie de sa vie semble effacée de sa mémoire. Mais le jour où elle apprend la disparition inquiétante de sa sœur, elle décide de rentrer en Ecosse.

La police locale l'attend en effet pour l'interroger. Peu après son arrivée, des messages apparaissent en divers endroits de la maison, tels des indices dans une chasse au trésor. Tous font référence à Mirrorland, le pays imaginaire que les deux sœurs s'étaient inventé dans leur enfance, à la fois terrain de jeu et refuge personnel.



Qui sème ces indices ? Qu'est-il véritablement arrivé à El ? Cat comprend alors qu'elle devra déverrouiller sa mémoire pour comprendre le présent.
