Henri is about to meet his teenage son, Sam, for the first time. But as Henri crosses Hammersmith Bridge, an accident happens. Sam reads about it in the newspaper - his father is a hero, now in a coma in hospital. So their first meeting takes place there, alongside the hospital's neurologist, whom the staff name God and is the first person to treat Sam as an equal in intelligence. And that's because Sam, due to a condition called synaesthesia, can sense things the doctors can't - he can see the colours of his father's thoughts and dreams, and many relationships build from this.
