註釋ULA MISHKIN is a computer genius. The socially awkward thirty-eight year old lives alone in the big Victorian house on Highbury Crescent that she inherited from her mother, a Russian scientist who took her own life when Ula was a child.Ula's only interest is the work she and neurobiologist ERIK BERG do in the attic of the house. Her mission is to develop software that will allow her to restore the memory she lost due to a head injury when her bicycle was hit by a bus on the streets of London. Although Ula lives her reclusive life by choice, her lack of income forces her to rent a room to MIA FRASER, a pretty second-year art student at Central-St. Martins. Mia is everything that Ula is not - spirited, trendy, and sociable, she brings a bit of life to the house and the shy scientist ultimately finds that she enjoys having the young girl around. In fact, she becomes quite attached to her. When Mia is violently murdered on Highbury Field, Ula is devastated. Angry and frustrated that detective SARAH BOYD is unable to make progress on the case, Ula adapts her software so that she is able to tap into her dead roommate's memories and find the killer herself.Entering the dead girl's life through the echo of her memory, Ula learns that sometimes the past is best left undisturbed.
