In the late nineteenth century, a strange and unique experience happened to a young French farmer. Witnessed by both the farmer's wife and a local French physician, the strange occurrence remained a mystery throughout both their lives. Nearly a hundred years later, a newly graduated doctor of psychology discovered the physician's documentation of the bizarre event in some old papers that had been preserved over the years. Unbeknownst to the psychologist, the event was about to repeat itself in the life of a similarly young American.

Steve Pearce is a mildly successful accountant with a beautiful wife, great son, and everything to live for. Suddenly, his life is torn apart in the same way the French farmer's had been nearly a hundred years before. How will he recapture the life he's lost? Where are his wife and son? Who is this strange woman who claims to be his wife and is this young child he doesn't remember really his daughter? It seems Steve has a myriad of questions and no answers. Somewhere out there is the life he lost. How will he recover it? Will he recover it or is this his life now?
