PlotSteve Rawley, a criminal undergoing experimental brain surgery, emerges with no memory of his past. He takes on a new identity, believing he's left his old life behind. However, his former gang members, skeptical of his amnesia, continuously hound him, convinced he still knows the whereabouts of a hidden $130,000 from their last heist. The police also keep a close watch on Steve, hoping he will unwittingly lead them to the money. Tensions rise as Steve becomes entangled in cat-and-mouse games with both the gang and law enforcement while grappling with fragmented memories that hint at his dark past.
As Steve attempts to piece together his memory, he is pursued by his former lover Peg, who is torn between her affection for him and her loyalty to the gang. Alongside the gang's leader Bullseye, she seeks to manipulate Steve into revealing the hidden fortune. While clues from his previous life slowly surface, Steve must navigate the perilous lines between truth and deception, and confront the shadows of a life he no longer remembers.
