Recovering in a Toronto hospital from a serious blow to the head, private investigator Benny Cooperman struggles with memory loss and a condition that has rendered him able to write but unable to read. It's a circumstance that compromises his ability to remember his attacker and the case he was on the brink of solving. But he was the lucky one - when he was found, there was a woman next to him, dead.
Benny is incapable of not detecting. It's in his genes. With the help of his girlfriend Anna Abraham and a notebook, he searches for new ways to find the truth.
