2025: What if you could remember everything except the day you disappeared?
The Strange Case of Jane O
What you need to know before your trail
A young woman, Jane O., arrives in a psychiatrist’s office. She’s been suffering a series of worrying episodes: amnesia, premonitions, hallucinations and an inexplicable sense of dread. But as the psychiatrist struggles to solve the mystery of what is happening in Jane’s mind, she suddenly goes missing. When she is found a day later, unconscious in a park, she has no memory of what has happened to her.
Are Jane’s strange experiences related to the overwhelm of single motherhood, or long-buried trauma from her past? Why is she having visions of a young man who died twenty years ago, who warns her of disaster ahead? Jane’s symptoms will lead her psychiatrist to question everything he once thought he knew . . .
Travel Guide
New York City
There’s enough locations here to navigate the city and Brookyln where most of the action takes place but they are very much background locations. The real one, the main one is the therapists office and the mind of the woman, Jane O, who goes there and whose diary we discover.
