Synopsis
An aging Andrew Woodman stumbles through a snowstorm, slowly losing his strength, his language, and his memories of the once-familiar island landscape around him. When Jerome, a young artist on a remote island retreat, discovers Andrew's body frozen in the ice later that winter, the rich narrative tapestry of A Map of Glass begins.
