description: An act of appalling violence leaves Lee Cotton far from home with a new identity, a draft card, a memory in flashback and a mental illness that makes him a sort of genius. He also has a reputation, back home, for being dead. Nobody could envisage that Lee's rebirth is a headstart not a handicap.
