Simon Cable wakes up in a hospital in 2002 with no memory of the past two years. Dr. Newman informs him that he briefly died and is suffering from memory loss, leaving Simon to puzzle through what he has forgotten. He believes it is the year 2000 and does not recognize his wife, Anna. A distressed woman named Clair visits him, but when he follows her, the hospital staff insist no one was there. The steady, patient work of Dr. Newman continues as he helps Simon piece together fragments of his past, a past that seems to be split between two different timelines.
