But tragic circumstances force Robert and his family to move.After thirteen months at war, Vittorio Gandy is haunted by memories, and his former life is unrecognizable.

Before long, word gets out that drinking from the fountain at the hotel can restore the memories of those suffering from Alzheimer’s and dementia. The rooms once again fill up with guests—not artists this time, but people seeking control over their memories and lives.
