1898 erwacht Joe Tournier ohne jegliche Erinnerungen am Bahnhof Gare du Roi in Londres. Die Welt steht Kopf: England ist Französisch, und Joe wird in eine psychiatrische Klinik eingewiesen. Nur wenig später, als er wieder in Freiheit ist, trifft eine rätselhafte Postkarte bei ihm ein, die 90 Jahre zu ihm unterwegs war. Auf der Postkarte ist ein Leuchtturm auf einer Insel mit dem Namen Eilean Mor abgebildet, auf der Rückseite steht ein kurzer Text: "Liebster Joe, komm nach Hause, wenn du dich erinnerst. M.".
