Three retired men, Austin, Brian and Charles, each receive a greeting card with a bucolic painting of forget-me-not flowers on the front.

But the message inside is far from tranquil. It reminds them of the terrible deed they committed twenty years ago. All this time, they thought they'd got away with it, that no one knew. But someone, somewhere, does know.
