Bereft of memory, a name, and a sense of self, an amnesiac becomes a pawn in a twisted scheme. A neurosurgeon whose wife is cheating brings him into his home and deliberately conditions him to believe the unfaithful woman is his own wife, pushing him to carry out what the surgeon considers the appropriate retribution. The film examines identity, manipulation, and vengeance.
