A teacher finds himself unable to handle the workload of a complicated university teaching job because of an onset of cognitive decline. He has a family history of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Lewy Body dementia, and Pick's disease, and he sees the darkness coming. But, for a while anyway, he perseveres and finds peace in serving others. In sidestepping his own worries about the growing symptoms, he finds a sleeping part of himself. That voice, once awakened, has a story to tell.
