Storyline

In the final episode of the series, memories of Marlow's childhood, his dreams and the events in his re-imagined novel collide with present day reality.

He reveals the lie from his school days that lead to a classmate, Mark Binney, being severely beaten by their teacher. The events and characters in his re-imagined novel are blended into his childhood memories, his fantasies about his ex-wife and her lover, the outcome of the novel and his medical condition.
