      Brent Stevens nedělal v Central Parku to, co tam dělá většina návštěvníků - neprojížděl se v kočáru taženém koňmi ani se neprocházel po Strawberry Fields. Ležel tam na dlažbě tváří k zemi a snažil se zjistit ty nejzákladnější věci: kdo vlastně je, kde se právě nachází a kdo se ho snaží zabít. Sám není schopen najít odpověď na žádnou z otázek - dokud mu nepodá pomocnou ruku Tina Ruffová, soukromá cvičitelka aerobiku s citlivým srdcem. Tina, která se ochotně ujala cizího člověka, je v New Yorku tak trochu výjimkou. Ale dobře oblečený, atraktivní Brent je také svým způsobem mimořádný, stejně jako jeho stav: po ráně do zátylku si nemůže vzpomenout na absolutně nic. Nemá ani ponětí o tom, co by se dalo odemknout klíčem, který má v kapse, natož aby tušil, jaké nástrahy mu hrozí... S vracející se pamětí začíná Brent hledat spojení mezi svou osobou, záhadným člověkem žijícím v newyorském bytě v budově zvané Dakota, ženou, od níž obdržel značný obnos a o níž ví jen to, že se jmenuje Lisa, a konečně slavným manželským hereckým párem, který v současné době zajišťuje Holywoodu vyprodané pokladny kin. S Tinou po boku se mu podaří narazit na některá nebezpečná tajemství a odhalí temnou i hrozivou pravdu, která je všechny spojuje...a současně smrtelně ohrožuje.
