Ayla and her best friend, Kiri, have always been tree people. They each have their own special tree and can usually be found within the branches. But after an accident on their street, Kiri has gone somewhere so far away that Ayla can only wait in her birch, longing to be able to talk with Kiri again. Then a mysterious telephone appears, nestled in the limbs of Ayla's tree. Where did it come from? she wonders. And why are people showing up to use this phone to call their loved ones who have passed on. All Ayla wants is for Kiri to come home. Until that day comes, she will keep Kiri's things safe. She'll keep her nightmares to herself. And she will not make a call on that telephone.
