DAVY ELIOT LOVES JUMPING OFF HIGH PLACES. THE SLIDE AND THE DEAD TREE BEHIND HIS CHILDHOOD HOME; BUNGEE JUMPING AS AN ADULT. THE SUBLIME MOMENT BETWEEN SKY AND GROUND HELPED FILL THE HOLLOWNESS INSIDE CAUSED BY GRIEF AFTER HIS FATHER'S DEATH AND HIS WIFE'S BETRAYAL. IT'S WHERE HE TURNS WHEN HIS LIFE UNRAVELS. WHEN DAVY DISAPPEARS, THE POLICE VISIT HIS FRIEND NEIL JUDD, A PSYCHOLOGIST WHO KNEW DAVY BEST. NEIL SUSPECTS THAT A DARK, SINISTER SECRET LIES BEHIND DAVY'S DISAPPEARANCE. DID DEPRESSION MAKE HIM WALK OUT ON HIS LIFE-OR DID HIS MENTAL STATE SPIRAL OUT OF CONTROL? WHERE IS ANNE JORDAN, DAVY'S EX- LOVER? IS DAVY REALLY CAPABLE OF MURDER? NEIL BELIEVES DAVY'S JOURNAL HOLDS THE ANSWERS BUT HAS NO IDEA OF THE JOURNEY HE IS ABOUT TO TAKE AS HE TRIES TO UNCOVER THE TRUTH. BACK THROUGH THE DEEPENING SHADOWS OF THE PAST. BACK TO OIL STREET. OIL STREET IS ABOUT REGRET AND GUILT, THE EROSION OF A MIND UNDER STRESS... OR ABOUT A SHADOW THAT DOESN'T FADE WHEN LIGHT PASSES OVER IT?
