But with each photo, he captures something unseen by the eye, and as each negative develops - revealing a person he hadn't met, a danger he hadn't noticed, and a world he hadn't seen - he is drawn further into a hidden war. One which he has been drawn into many times before . . . and every time, had his memories of the truth, and of the woman he loves, stolen from him. As Tom pieces fragments of the truth together, he realizes he must weave through the war and fight his own battle: both for the woman he loves, and for himself.
