Chin Po is a successful medical doctor working in a private practice in Perth, Australia, and struggling to adapt to an unfulfilling marriage-an attempt plagued by thoughts of a long-lost love. Originally from the island of Borneo, he left home as a teenager after he lost his first love under strange circumstances. The trauma of the forced separation left him unable to feel deep emotion for any reason, whether joy or misery-a circumstance drastically affecting his marriage and his life as a whole. One day, however, a psychic patient sees through Chin's camouflage of smiling calm and senses his empty inner world. Working with other psychics, she reveals details of Chin's past that he had not known and helps him unravel the reasons for the loss of his first love more than forty years ago. Will this newfound knowledge help Chin find peace? This tale of romance and psychological intrigue explores the power that thwarted love may exert in a person's life.
