Plot

After a car accident leaves him with amnesia, a man wakes up to discover he's been out of commission for nearly a year. With no memory of his past life or identity, he finds himself entwined in a complex web of deceit and corruption in a small town. As he starts piecing together clues about his former life, he learns he has been named the prime suspect in a murder case. Disoriented yet determined, he embarks on a quest to clear his name and uncover the truth, delving into a noir-tinged mystery where friends and foes are indistinguishable.

Throughout his journey, he encounters a diverse cast of characters, including a compassionate nurse who offers assistance, an affable businessman with hidden agendas, and a hard-nosed detective who believes he's onto the truth. As he struggles to regain his memory and solve the case, he realizes that his own survival hangs in the balance. Trust becomes a luxury he can't afford, and every interaction could be a step toward revelation or a potential trap laid by those who wish to keep their secrets buried.
