When trauma surgeon Dr. Tom Barrett returns from military duty in the Middle East War, he is stricken with flashbacks, terrifying nightmares, and tremors. He learns his old friend and surgical colleague, Akira Yamaguchi, is conducting a clinical trial of a potential breakthrough drug that could erase bad memories in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) victims.
Unable to function and desperate to get better, Tom enters Yamaguchi’s clinical trial. He quickly learns that some patients have improved markedly on the drug, inspiring hope that it could be the next big thing in mental health.
But something is going wrong. Patients’ symptoms are returning in full force. Akira Yamaguchi turns to Tom to enlist his help in determining the reasons for the drug’s sudden failure. Tom and two fellow patients immerse themselves in a dangerous, high stakes investigation to reveal the shocking answer to the failure of the drug.
