Larger memory gaps and the joking words "Alzheimer says hello!" make Eddie Nickels fear that he will soon end up as a helpless being, without a self and the subject of ridicule among his peers. Yet there are still so many things he wants to see and experience while he is of sound mind. His unfulfilled dreams include palm-fringed beaches by the blue sea and the golden splendor of exotic temples in the Far East. He sets off on a journey. Deep down, he also hopes to free himself from the clutches of the treacherous white fog of forgetfulness with the help of traditional Asian medicine. But after a devastating tsunami, Eddie Nickels goes missing. His son, with whom he has had no contact for years, and his partner's daughter set out to find him.
