Dark City

A man wakes in a hotel bathtub with no memory of who he is, surrounded by cryptic clues and the body of a murdered woman. As he flees the scene, he discovers he is wanted for a string of brutal murders, although he cannot recall committing any crime. Desperate for answers, he searches the city for fragments of his identity and is dogged by Inspector Bumstead, a police detective investigating the deaths. At the same time, he learns his wife is searching for him, struggling with her own guilt and confusion about their relationship. The city itself appears frozen in eternal night, its inhabitants trapped in daily routines that reset without explanation.

Shadowy, pale figures known as the Strangers begin pursuing him, displaying supernatural abilities and manipulating reality. A mysterious doctor offers cryptic warnings and hints at a much greater conspiracy. The protagonist realizes he has unusual powers similar to those of his pursuers, including the ability to reshape his surroundings at will. As he follows a trail of hidden messages and encounters others questioning their existence, the truth appears to lie in the heart of the city, tied to the disappearing memories of all its residents. With time running out and reality fracturing around him, he must confront the astonishing secrets behind the darkness enveloping the city and his own shadowy past.
