Stuart is hired by young Melissa Van Horn to locate her childhood friend/husband of one week David Todd, whose disappearance she feels was from some sort of amnesia. She hasn't filed a missing persons report with the police in not wanting the publicity as David is a well known concert pianist, such publicity which could damage his career. The only other person who is a constant in David's fairly solitary life is his manager of five years Max Comstock, who believes he may have pushed David too hard in the performing schedule leading to he making the decision to drop out of sight for some rest and relaxation. Stuart does not have many leads to follow beyond Max and any clues David may have left at his last know location, their recreational property on the beach. Following a hunch from a casual comment made by Suzanne, Stuart is able to locate David who is up front with Stuart about why he left. Stuart has to decide what to do with David's information as it could be a matter of life and death, namely David's, specifically at whose hands Stuart will have to discover.
