Harvey England, a retiree age 74 who is widowed with no children, returns home from a good day meeting with and helping college students majoring in engineering. He feels very poorly and is just wondering if he should call someone when he collapses and remembers no more.Five months later he awakens, coming out of his fog (coma), in a full-service nursing care area of a large, upscale senior living community. Everyone is shocked because none of the healthcare professionals ever believed he would survive his bout with bacterial meningitis, and they were expecting his impending death. Harv works through his fog and is totally devoted to his full recuperation. Harv is a man who ran a half marathon less than a year ago, and as a decorated Vietnam Veteran of significant grit, he works on achieving his full health and strength. As he makes headway, he meets new and dear friends, Walt Schell, a formidable man who is also a Vietnam Vet like Harvey and Walt's neighbor in the Independent Living apartments of Wildstone, Tory Randall. She is a brilliant woman with a storied career as the Editor for the Boston Globe. Her wheelchair is no impediment to her prowess. Harvey then finds that his home, decorated with fine art and original Tiffany Lamps by his late wife Margaret; his 1965 Mustang convertible; his investment account which is quite sizeable due to the sale of his very successful Civil Engineering Firm; and his personal savings accounts are all gone. How did this happen to him? As he, Walt, and Tory, "The Team" as they call themselves, begin to understand what happened as they identify and focus on the primary culprits. They then use their investigative skills, courage, and persistence to determine what happened, why it occurred and by whom. They encounter danger and challenges as they seek together to restore Harvey's prior life.
