- In a future where MRI technology can read your mind, a judge decides if a defendant's own memory can be used against him at trial.
- It is the year 2026 and MRI technology has advanced to a point where imaging of long term memories can be produced in near video quality. When Henri Miller has the new FVMRI scan during a routine medical procedure and it reveals his murdering of two contractors on his property, the legal machinery put in place by him when he signed a medical release sets the stage for the trial of the century as Henri may have to defend himself against the states primary evidence - the memory of a crime he doesn't remember committing. In the chambers of Judge Wagner, Henri's defense counsel pleads passionately to dismiss this landmark memory evidence on the basis of a flawed medical procedure; while the District Attorney extols that Henri signed away his rights to privacy when he released the parties during the initial medical procedure. Citing the continued rights of patient choice, Wagner's summation states that this case may prove that sometimes our memories may no longer be our own.—Mark Lund
- Henri Miller, a successful restaurant owner, loving husband to his journalist wife Margaret and proud father of his son Brian, thought he was living the quintessential American dream until a, seemingly, innocent MRI scan revealed his worst nightmare one he cant remember.
It is the year 2026 and MRI technology has advanced to a point where imaging of long term memories can be produced in near video quality. When Henri had the new FVMRI scan and it revealed his murdering of two contractors on his property, the legal machinery put in place by him when he signed a medical release, will soon set the stage for the trial of the century as Henri may have to defend himself against the states primary evidence his own memory.
Becoming emotionally unhinged with a memory he cant remember, Henris landscaping obsession compounds with his refusal to eat and anti-social behavior on the very day his fate lies with the efforts of others in their attempt to rescue him from a living hell.
In the chambers of Judge Richard Wagner, Henris defense counsel pleads passionately to dismiss this landmark memory evidence on the basis of a flawed medical procedure; while the District Attorney extols that Henri signed away his rights to privacy when he released the parties during the initial medical procedure. Citing the continued rights of patient choice, Wagners summation states that this case may prove that sometimes our memories may no longer be our own.
Awash in despair Margaret receives the news from the court, while Brians anger intensifies as Wagners decision is broadcast on international television. Destroying the picture of a once idyllic family, Brian races to be with his parents.
With the fate of Henri's memory evidence sealed, a family unites as the past and present collide towards a conclusion that reveals that the last bastion of privacy the mind may answer to all crimes those of the present and those forged in the hatred and guilt of a long past genocide.
