Deep in the wasteland that is south-west Afghanistan, something is stirring. A small team of dark-clad figures have located an industrial plant that is definitely not what it should be. They have no time to establish exactly what they have discovered, for there is a ferocious and immediate reaction by those guarding the plant. One team member is killed, while the leader is wounded. He orders the others to withdraw, whilst giving them time and space to do so. Unwilling to leave him, they are forced to obey his orders. Because of his sacrifice, they all survive. The man is listed and missing, believed killed in action.
Several months later, in a sleepy town in the Midlands of England, a police officer's dreary and damp night shift is enlivened by the sudden appearance of a beautiful young woman dressed in male clothes as she staggers onto the road in front of him, and collapses into unconsciousness.
The girl awakes a short time later in hospital, with no memory of anything before waking up.
As the girl starts each day with an entirely blank memory, she has no idea that she could be connected to that incident that took place half a world away and several months previously.
One memory slips through – that of a popular female singer that seems to have been a friend. However, just as she remembers that, she sees on the TV news the murder of that same woman, in suspicious circumstances. Can she be involved? Is she the killer?
Will she ever get her memory back?
The policeman who found her joked that she was like the ship that was found adrift with no crew –The Marie Celeste – all appears normal, but completely empty. Taking the name of Marie, she begins the task of building a new life.
Just as she does, her old life starts to interfere - in the shape of mysterious men who appear to be following her.
Will she ever fill in the blanks; or will they get to her first?
Marie reacts instinctively, only to discover that her instincts display skills that are definitely not the normal skills that nice girls possess.
Just who and what was she?
