Summary
Lisa Chelgrin is the daughter of a US Senator. Her life has been wiped, and her genuine past has been blocked. Joanna Rand is her forced, fictitious new identity.
Alex Hunter, a private investigator, is recruited to find Lisa, but he comes up empty-handed. Years later, while on vacation in Kyoto, Japan, he sees Lisa Chelgrin perform in a nightclub act.
Her name has changed, and she is now an older woman working as a nightclub owner and performer.
Nonetheless, the investigator is certain it is her. He requests his dead-case file, and his personally hired messenger is nearly assassinated while delivering it. Someone is keeping an eye on him and Lisa.
At the same time, a figure known as The Doctor "Inamura" is attempting to circumvent Lisa's memory block, assuming that by eliminating a password or pass phrase, he would be able to access Lisa's genuine memories.
However, when under hypnosis, Lisa can only repeat the words "tension, apprehension, and dissent have begun," rather than addressing The Doctor's queries concerning her actual background.
Following the initial sequence of events, Lisa and Alex attempt to cope with their different pasts in order to live.
