ABC Synopsis From ABC's 1984-85 Prime-Time Programming Booklet

It happens in so many ways. ... Their eyes meet across a crowded room and sparks ignite, yet somehow they never meet. ... After 25 years, the flame of his teenage love still burns, but she's moved, married, changed her name. Could she possibly still care, just a little? ... She fell in love with his picture, but there's no way to find him. ... All are lost causes, dashed dreams. Maybe they were once. But no longer. Cary Maxwell's in the romance business -- the business of finding lost loves.

Until two years ago, Cary and as his wife enjoyed the good life -- skiing in the Alps, swimming in the Riviera, sailing in the South Pacific. But Kate's death ended all that. Having lost his love, Cary re-lives some of his own joy by helping others to regain theirs. Thus, his unique private investigation service.

Cary's clients are varied, ranging from the bewildered young woman whose fiance has suddenly disappeared, to the corporate executive seeking the woman he lost thirty years earlier. As any detective, he must rely on leads, research, and some luck. And, of course, there is always the element of danger when he finds people who may not want to be found. Fortunately there to lend a helping hand is his associate and sister-in-law, Daisy Lloyd. She too has secret feelings for a not-quite-lost love of her own -- the man she works with, Cary Maxwell.

Unlike routine lost-and-found cases, Cary's assignments are elusive, fragile and unpredictable. Though he'll usually find the people he's after, the outcome is uncertain. Romance doesn't offer guarantees.
