One Christmas Eve Goose meets Anthony,an enigmatic,fey stranger with apparent psychic powers,being able to tell by touching them what people have lost,from Frank's first edition of Oscar Wilde to a retired doctor's wife. Hoping that its return will lead to him finding his lost dog,Goose persuades Anthony to help him retrieve a bangle he stole and ends up meeting the wife of his probation officer,whose young daughter died on the same day as Goose's parents. But Anthony is not what he seems to be at all and is capable of changing everybody's life for the better when his true identity is revealed.‘Goose’ is a 10 year old boy who on Christmas Eve not thinking about his actions hides his father’s car keys in the hope that he won’t leave to attend an urgent emergency rescue.

Find things that are lost and make lives whole again.Everything starts with a lost bangle. This is where ‘Anthony’ discovers his ability to see what has happened to a person prior to losing what they seek and how they’ve lost what they desire. He touches a person’s hand and sees in his mind their story leading up to the loss of what they are seeking. Despite being lost himself, he has the compulsion and ability to find the lost, uncovering truths that will eventually transform the life of ’Goose’ and those affected by his decision.
