The Missing Frame

One bag. Five rolls of film filled with grief. One chance to develop what’s left of love.

For Liz Ferguson, grief arrived on a Tuesday, disguised as a camera bag. Shattered by the sudden death of Leo—her best friend and almost something more—Liz tries to outrun her sorrow at every turn. Until Leo’s camera bag unexpectedly arrives at her door.

Inside Leo’s bag lies a note, his journal, his camera, and a handful of undeveloped film, each filled with fragments of his humour, philosophy, and love. Once a documentary-style photographer, Liz now finds herself developing the last rolls of film Leo left behind, unsure of where it will lead her.

With each photograph serving as a bread crumb, Liz faithfully follows Leo’s trail to trust the blur and let the light back into her world. A poignant novella about grief and memories, The Missing Frame captures how to live again through the lens of a camera.
