Synopsis

Charlie is a zoo-head, addicted to a powerful hallucinogenic with memory crunching side-effects. He is forced by the authorities to enter a radically experimental rehabilitation treatment designed to recover his memories and put his mind back to how it was before he became addicted. The system crashes and he becomes trapped in horrifying memory loops. Haunted by childhood traumas, Charlie’s psyche repeatedly shuts down in defence, only to reboot with increasingly disturbing recurrences. His girlfriend Megan, herself a recovering addict, reveals the depth of her feeling for him and Charlie realises he actually has something precious to live for. But it may be too late as the twists and turns of the extreme visions intensify, potentially destroying his mind for good. Unless the desperate efforts to save him can succeed.
