1938, en Roumanie. Dominic Matei, un vieux professeur de linguistique, est frappé par la foudre et rajeunit miraculeusement. Ses facultés mentales décuplées, il s'attelle enfin à l'oeuvre de sa vie : une recherche sur les origines du langage. Mais son cas attire les espions de tout bord : nazis en quête d'expériences scientifiques, agents américains qui cherchent à recruter de nouveaux cerveaux. Dominic Matei n'a d'autre choix que de fuir, de pays en pays, d'identité en identité. Au cours de son périple, il va retrouver son amour de toujours, ou peut-être une femme qui lui ressemble étrangement... Elle pourrait être la clé même de ses recherches. A moins qu'il soit obligé de la perdre une seconde fois.
