During the late 1800s, England was a land of boundless potential, and there were those who eagerly sought to exploit it. The days of the aristocracy had faded, and self-made men of wealth breathed new life, energy, and money into the English countryside. Exploration and innovation were the tools that would usher in the next century.
Montgomery, a true English gentleman, was one such man who sought to bring his young family into an era of prosperity. Though Monty chose wisely in business, he chose poorly in those surrounding him. With a new bride, a young son, travel, and an expanding business, Monty enjoyed a happy life – until he could no longer remember it.
One rainy morning, Monty was found abandoned at an unknown manor, badly beaten and unconscious, left in the mud. As he awoke, he could feel the rain on his face and taste the blood in his mouth, but he could no longer recall who he was. Within the house, there were those who would help him and those who would seek to do him harm.
This journey takes Monty into a world where nothing is as it appears. Hypnotism, treachery, romance, and betrayal all lie in his path of discovery. With his memory gone, Monty has lost everything he once had in the world, and he is willing to do whatever it takes to get it back.
