The First Alix

Sometimes you only get to know yourself when you play a role

Alix is desperate: her mum’s been arrested and it’s all her fault. She heads out into a storm on her way to the police station – but then a shiver runs through the earth.

Suddenly Alix finds herself standing on a sunny pavement. It’s 1926, and her old life seems to have been erased: her house is gone, and there’s no trace of the police station with her mum inside it either. When a bloodred car pulls up beside her, an incredible adventure begins for Alix, in which she not only solves a murder but also discovers the truth about her own family.
