Descriere
When
four
patients
spontaneously
regain
consciousness
after
being
declared
dead,
their
loved
ones
are
ecstatic
and
words
like
“miracle”
and
“miraculous”
begin
to
float
around
the
hospital.
But
the
jubilation
is
short
lived
when
the
patients
neither
recognize
their
families
nor
answer
to
their
names.
Each
one
vehemently
claims
to
be
someone
else,
someone
who
lived,
and
died,
in
the
past.
When
it’s
suggested
that
all
four
are
suffering
from
fugue
states,
one
of
the
doctors
says
that
he
recognizes
a
name
and
verifies
he
not
only
knew
the
girl
but
was
there
when
she
died
in
1992.
It
soon
becomes
obvious
that
the
bodies
of
the
four
patients
are
now
inhabited
by
the
souls
of
people
long
dead.A
frightened
little
boy
killed
in
1956
cries
out
for
his
mother
from
the
body
of
an
81
year
old
Alzheimer’s
patient,
the
soul
of
a
spinster
killed
in
a
Suffragette
rally
wakes
in
the
body
of
a
new
mother;
an
orthodox
Jew,
murdered
in
1922,
opens
the
eyes
of
a
gay
suicide
and
a
teenage
girl
wakes
to
discover
she’s
now
in
the
body
of
a
45
year
old
woman.The
hospital
psychiatrist,
after
talking
with
them,
dubs
the
four
“The
Travelers”
and
believes
they
are
proof
of
the
transmigration
of
souls.
They
are
more
than
just
lost
souls,
he
tells
the
grieving
families,
they
are
completely
alone
and
terrified,
displaced
into
bodies
that
aren’t
their
own
and
trapped
in
a
world
they
can’t
understand.
If
they
are
to
survive
they’ll
need
help
and
to
this
end
the
doctor
asks
the
families
to
make
a
supreme
sacrifice
and
do
just
that:
to
help
these
strangers
assimilate
into
society
and
their
new
lives.To
care
for
a
complete
stranger
who
looks
like
the
loved
one
they
just
lost
is
a
hard
thing
to
ask
of
people.
The
families
have
the
right
to
say
no,
they
are
under
no
legal
or
moral
obligation
to
help;
but
they
do.
Spearheaded
by
the
elderly
woman
whose
husband’s
body
now
holds
the
soul
of
a
frightened
child,
but
still
with
reservations
and
not
a
little
anger,
they
finally
agree
to
accept
the
strangers
wearing
their
loved
ones
bodies,
and
will
do
everything
they
can
to
help
“The
Travelers”
make
as
smooth
and
gentle
a
transition
into
their
new
lives
as
possible.FLAME
