Amy and her kelpie-shepherd combine, Lars, work with a search group that specializes to find lost people. Despite his average-mutt appearance, Lars is no ordinary dog. He and Amy have a telepathic connection. While Lars has a lot to understand about human language, their bond enables them to communicate in unusual ways and is a boon to their success rate.

When Amy and Lars find a missing scientist experiencing the Alzheimer’s-like disorder ‘Disorientation,’ Amy and her support group realize this is not a typical lost-person case. Rather, this assignment appears to be an attempt to steal this man’s highly sensitive research on nanotechnology?which, in the wrong hands, could possibly be used to wipe out undesirables off their overpopulated world. Forced to proceed undercover to search out the truth, Amy will have to confront?and surpass?her personal limitations.
