SYNOPSIS

In a dystopian vision of the future, a mysterious secret agent is lost on a mission. When her commanding division picks her up again, they perform a series of tests in a harsh government facility. They find something’s missing from her memories, a new objective that she is determined to keep to herself. A manipulative game of questions and answers evolves.
