Talbot Farber, a popular and successful Albuquerque businessman, lost his beloved wife thirteen years ago. There was a fire aboard the ship during their fifth-anniversary cruise. Several people went overboard in the melee; Jenna Farber was the only one whose body was never recovered. Years passed, she was declared legally dead, and Talbot went ahead with his life, raising their young daughter on his own. Now, he tells Charlie and Ron, he has spotted Jenna alive and well in the Denver airport. He begs them to find her, his excitement palpable as he believes he didn't lose her after all.

More than one hundred employees of the Jenkins Company are brutally herded into an underground complex by the "Luminaries of the New Breed." Here the abductees are forced to relearn their lives in a perverse mirror-world of monotony and degradation overseen by the vicious cult. Above ground, with few clues and no leads, the Jenkins' employees appear to have vanished. Amid this nightmare is the drama of Harry Stolarski, possibly the last victim of the kidnapping who can retain a precious memory of the outside world: his wife's name, Margaret. Nearly broken and mad and growing weaker, Harry shelters that spark in an attempt to survive. Margaret Stolarski turns to Lawson Jacobs, private investigator, to find her husband. Survival beneath the earth parallels the detective work above ground, as unsettling developments are unearthed. For a decade Lawson follows an elusive trail-until Harry's terrifying reappearance.
