Synopsis
Querry, a world famous architect, is the victim of a terrible attack of indifference. He no longer finds meaning in art of pleasure in life. Arriving anonymously at a Congo leper village, he is diagnosed as the mental equivalent of "a burnt-out case," a leper who has gone through a stage of mutilation. However, as Querry loses himself in work for the lepers, his disease of mine slowly subsides. Then the white community finds out who Querry really is.

From the Inside Flap
When Querry, world-famous architect, no longer enjoys life or takes pleasure in art, he sets off on a voyage to a leper colony in the Congo.
