Dr. Stephen Strange lies broken in a hospital bed, as a doctor is telling his friend that his hands were destroyed. He can still be a doctor, but he will never be able to be a surgeon again. He promises himself he will travel the country or even the world until he meets someone skilled enough to repair his hands. He does travel the world, to no avail until one day he meets an old friend that was on the same trip to Tibet as him. The two talk and the friend tells Stephen that the boy Wong kept asking about him. That Wong was inspired to become a doctor and is one of the best hand specialists in the world. Stephen Strange travels to Tibet in search of Wong, when he arrives, a woman says he was expected, that Wong left a note. On the note is his new address. Only two blocks away from Stephen Stranges address in New York. Before he can meet Wong though, he goes to have a drink. There he meets Clea, who tells him he is in danger. Too late as his demons catch up with him.
