A story of a promise reluctantly denied and love stretched to its limits.

Where James Kirk goes missing. Although he is eventually found by Spock, when he recovers his condition is as puzzling as his unexplained disappearance. His ordeal has left him in am almost a vegetative state; unresponsive to the world around him. Worse still he no longer knows his friends.

Dr. McCoy to a decision that Spock cannot accept. Thus, taking matters into his own hands, the Vulcan sprits Kirk away, determined to bring the man he knew and loves back to reality. Then just as it seems his tremendous efforts seem doomed to failure, Kirk begins to show signs of improvement. With Spock's diligent care, his friend begins to recover. That recovery, however, is only partial. Spock is left dealing with two personalities that change places at random. A child-like, gentle, loving being, an autocrat what cannot forgive Spock for failing to keep the promise he made. They resume their lives aboard the Enterprise where a hardened Kirk finds himself in a constant battle with the child-like being that remains deep inside him. That battle leaves him unable to feel compassion or love, for anyone, even Spock. Will a crisis that threatens Spock's very existence bring those two beings together or will Kirk remain the bitter, unfeeling person he has become?

As the story unfolds, the cause of Kirk's dissapearance is revealed, and although the journey is twisted, the path is followed to conclusion.
