"You are an immemorant. Following the accident at Normaphen laboratory on July 8, 2012, you lost your ability to preserve your memories. Each time you go into REM sleep, your brain destroys the information stored during your wakefulness. Your last memory goes back to the day of the accident." The 30,000 immemorants living in the Normaphen-run "Institute" have been waking up to this unsettling message for a decade. Actually, with the Army's help, the lab has been looking for a truth serum and using them as guinea pigs. Emma, an Institute researcher, decides to kidnap four immemorants in order to develop a real treatment and become a whistleblower about what's really going on.
