Martin Ridgway's fortuitous discovery of a corpse- and a tin of marijuana- in the waters off a deserted cove near Devon puts him in the hands of a man named Summerson- and he wakes up ten days later in a private nursing home, drugged and amnestic. Given a new identity, and kept prisoner on a farm, he escapes to fall back into the hands of his original captors- but this time two security officers effect a tracer and close in on a large narcotics operation.... Hyperkinetic.
