Opening scene (Act 1): It is dark and there is heavy breathing. POV injured passenger hears muffled voice: “I got you.” The injured man’s vision clears, focusing on a 40-year-old man…”I got you. I’m Dr. Brona. I’ve got you. You’re gonna be okay.” Arthur (45-year-old black male) wakes from his nightmare, startling his wife. He tells her “I’ve got to find him. I can’t get him out of my head.”
(Act 2) Dr. Brona is now 65-years old and is in a dermatology clinic. He is informed that he has an aggressive melanoma. He is haunted by the ghost of a teenager that died of pericarditis and myocarditis. He blames himself for missing the diagnosis. The teenager appears frequently, staring at him with a blank, accusing gaze. He denies further evaluation and treatment, believing that his misfortunes are retribution.
(Act 3) Arthur has been looking for Dr. Brona for many years, having only his last name to go on. It was a difficult charge. He shows up at Dr. Brona’s house and realizes that he has finally found the man who saved his life. Unknowingly, it is now up to Arthur to save Dr. Brona.
