letter from Richard, telling her that he is still alive and sequestered
in a lab on Blood Edward Island. Ashley traces the letter to the island
to find the truth behind her parents' mysterious disappearance. Once
there, she discovers that her parents had been working on a
memory-generating computer called Trace, but the connection between
Trace and their disappearance remains unclear.
While searching for Richard, Ashley befriends a ghost named D, who is
looking for answers of his own. Having lost all his memories and any
recollection of his death, D is destined to remain in limbo and wander
the island until he recovers them. Together, they set off to find the
