Days after awakening on a hospital gurney – seriously injured and with total amnesia – the patient known as “John Doe” receives a visitor claiming to be his brother. When the two go for a walk, the visitor pulls a gun and growls, “You can stop the amnesia routine now. I know who you are and I know what you’ve done!” The two men struggle and the gun goes off, but John manages to escape. After his terrifying brush with death, John is plunged into a hideous waking nightmare. The cops want him, dead or alive, and the entire world seems to be conspiring against him – except for the tough, wounded beauty and private investigator Jessie Bales. Jessie agrees to help John discover his true identity. But all she finds is a secret police file, a madman’s diary and a trail of mutilated bodies – and she is forced to face the fact that John really might be a brutal killer. As John and Jessie close in on the answers, two things become apparent: they are quickly falling in love, and the truth may by more sinister than they dare imagine.
