Returning to London after years abroad, a man takes the new Twopenny Tube, is struck by an exposed live wire, and wakes with no memory of who he is. Brought by cab to Krakatoa Villa, home of a mother and her spirited daughter Sally, he stays on, finds work, and slowly becomes part of a household whose own past turns out to be painfully entangled with his.
