A comedic mystery built on the absurd premise of daily amnesia, balancing lighthearted humor with the practical complications of a detective unable to remember his own investigation or budding romance.

Pogue is a private eye with a problem: every morning when he wakes up, he has total amnesia, waking up with a 'blank slate'. Since he is in the middle of a hot investigation and has a developing romance, this is less than convenient.
