It is 1945 - the end of the Second World War – and all of Europe is beginning to come to terms with the material ruin and social upheaval wrought by conflict. In southern France, Colonel Scott Kilmeade finds himself both blind and without any memory of his former existance. But Scott Kilmeade has developed a heightened sense of hearing, almost supernatural in quality. In addition, he possesses the sometimes acute faculty of predilection. And it is with these exceptional "sixth" senses--along with the unflagging assistance of his lighted-hearted friend and able confidant, Dr. Richards--that Kilmeade sets out to reclaim the life that fate has stripped from him. So Scott Kilmeade backsteps through time, and travels the now ravaged cities of war-torn France. Not only to rejoin the past and restore the vacant slate of his mind, but to recapture what at present remains a nagging fragment of one visionless memory: the certain knowledge that once, in a life not so long passed, he had been deeply and irrevocably in love.
