After years of torture, former elite soldier Ian lives in a safe house with his brother, struggling with memory loss and the effects of the experiments he was forced to endure. In an attempt to tap into the hidden power of the mind, his captors left him scarred with unrelenting nightmares, visions and unstable powers such as time manipulation and telekinesis. Driven by his desperate need for the truth and a thirst for revenge, Ian, assisted by his brother, sets out on a thrilling hunt for the masterminds of this conspiracy. He hopes to uncover exactly what his enemies have done to him and why?
