Alice sa preberie na dlážke v posilňovni s veľkou hrčou na hlave. Myslí si, že má dvadsaťdeväť rokov a čaká prvé dieťa so svojím úžasným manželom Nickom. Napočudovanie sa dozvie, že pri páde sa jej z pamäti vymazalo desať rokov života a že v skutočnosti je nervózna tridsaťdeväťročná žena, ktorá najradšej trávi čas náročným posilňovaním a na poradách školských výborov so ženami, aké kedysi neznášala. Ako je možné, že sa jej život tak radikálne zmenil? Prečo ju manžel zrazu nenávidí? A čo také hrozné urobila, že sa s ňou jej milovaná sestra takmer nerozpráva? Najviac ju však znepokojuje, že si absolútne nespomína na svoje tri deti. Alice sa zrazu vidí inými očami, no nespoznáva sa. Tá nová žena sa jej vôbec nepáči. Nájde spôsob, ako byť znova tým človekom, akým bývala kedysi?

Yoshitaka, who was about to leave his marriage and his wife, is poisoned by arsenic-laced coffee and dies. His wife, Ayane, is the logical suspect--except that she was hundreds of miles away when he was murdered. The lead detective, Tokyo Police Detective Kusanagi, is immediately smitten with her and refuses to believe that she could have had anything to do with the crime. His assistant, Kaoru Utsumi, however, is convinced Ayane is guilty. While Utsumi's instincts tell her one thing, the facts of the case are another matter. So she does what her boss has done for years when stymied--she calls upon Professor Manabu Yukawa. But even the brilliant mind of Dr. Yukawa has trouble with this one, and he must somehow find a way to solve an impossible murder and capture a very real, very deadly murderer

Keď sa svojvoľnej moci podarilo ignorovať – a neskôr umlčať – všeobecný nesúhlasný postoj národa k vojne, pri udeľovaní Oscarov sa na javisko postavil muž a pred očami miliardy ľudí vykričal najvyššiemu veliteľovi jeho falošné prezidentstvo a falošnú vojnu. Stojí za povšimnutie, že teraz, len o niekoľko mesiacov neskôr, sa tieto slová stali široko uznávanou pravdou po celej krajine.

Tutte le sere, dopo il tramonto, Viola si addentra nel bosco dietro casa. La grave malattia di cui soffre le impedisce di esporsi anche al minimo raggio di sole. Così, quando i suoi compagni sono impegnati con la scuola, lei dorme o sta in casa a suonare, e quando loro vanno a dormire, lei passeggia libera tra gli alberi del suo bosco, in compagnia del buio e di tutti gli animali che lo popolano. Una sera, però, sul sentiero sterrato da cui non passa anima viva, scorge un’auto: un ragazzo tira fuori un corpo pesante dal bagagliaio e lo trascina sul sedile di guida, prima di dare fuoco alla macchina. Poi seppellisce qualcosa nel terreno vicino. Sei alberi dal ciglio della strada: per Viola è facilissimo ritrovare il punto in cui quel tizio ha scavato la buca… e dare inizio alla sua personale, pericolosa indagine. Che cosa ci fanno tanti soldi sepolti nel bosco? E quel ragazzo è forse un assassino? Tornerà a cercarla?
