Successful writer Phil Martin wakes up one Monday morning not knowing who or where he is - ""...in another man's world, in another man's house, wearing another man's beige silk pajamas..."" Trying to make sense of what's happening, he becomes bombarded with non-stop phone calls from people he doesn't recognize, demanding answers to questions - when he has none. In a quest for his identity he travels to the remote reaches of Appalachia retracing the path of his birth family, In Search of Himself.
