X wakes up from a car accident in a New York hospital his memory gone. With the help of a neuro-biologist and a psychiatrist, he searches for his past. Though he falls for the psychiatrist, she likes the neuro-biologist. Soon X finds out the doctors aren’t doctors, the nurses aren’t nurses, and the patients aren’t patients. When the psychiatrist disappears, he escapes from the hospital to search for her, but the hospital isn’t a hospital and New York isn’t New York. Only a military facility to extract his memory.
He escapes from the facility to search for his partner Pratt and his former lover Dolly, only to find out that in this world, government agents control the citizens through Pavlovian Conditioning (PC) and subliminal programming (SP), and rebels retaliate by bombing government buildings and assassinating public officials. Both are after him to get hold of secrets to Cerebral Programming (CP), a bleeding-edge technology to engineer the brain by reconnecting neurons. When he discovers that he volunteered to have his memory erased, he loses heart and only his dream self, Francisco, a computer hacker who doesn’t stop singing his own praises, can help recover his memory and turn the technology against the agents and rebels by solving the Guzman Code.
