One night. A constellation of lives changed forever.When retired doctor Ben Wilf comes across ten-year-old Waldo Shenkman in the middle of the night under Division Street's old oak tree, he is treated to an unexpected and magical tour of the stars.

In fact, they go way back, to the night of Waldo's birth, and further still.Secrets preside over the neighbourhood along with the majestic oak. One night in particular has been kept buried. Following it, the Wilfs ­-- parents and children -- change and grow, but each is haunted by what they choose to forget.
