Michael Jenning (Ben Affleck) is being hunted, but he doesn't know why. A world famous genius hired by high tech corporation for specialized top-secret projects, Jennings routinely has his memory erase once a job is completed so as not to divulge any company secrets. Highly paid for his work, he expects to earn eight figures for his latest the year project, but upon finishing the work, instead of a big paycheck, he is given an envelope full of random objects and told that he has agreed to forfeit all payment. With his memory erased per his contract Jenning has no defense, until he discovers that the objects are clues to the past. Now, with the help of Rachel (Uma Thurman), the woman he has worked with and loved her for the last three years, Jennings is in a race against time to put the pieces of his past together... before his previous employers have him killed.
