A girl wakes on a bus. She has no idea who she is, or who the other people on the bus are. Among them is a another girl who does nothing but glare at her. There is a younger boy who looks frightened, a guy with tattoos all over him, a hot guy and old lady. They all look as confused as she is.

She quickly learns that no one is any wiser than her. No one knows where they are or why they are riding in a bus with no driver. When messages begin appearing in the back of the seats in front of them, they are shocked then collectively become angry. Who is doing this and why?

Some of them think they recognise others. One of them seems to know a lot about memories and different types. Could their memories really have been tampered with? The bus continues to drive in circles. What is going on!

Following the instructions on the seats, tensions rise and fall, as they try to work together to find answers. Why are they doing the same thing over and over? The stress of not knowing whether they are good or bad people, whether they have families, partners, or friends is slowly taking its toll, until one of them decides enough is enough…

A psychological thriller. How would you feel if you couldn’t remember anything about yourself? If the truth that is slowly revealed to you is nothing like you imagined? What if you were part of something to make the world a better place and you agreed to it all – only you can’t remember making such a devastating decision?

A test. Then another and another and another. Lost memories, lust, love and murder. Genius and chaos. Courage and cunning. Interspersed with discovered documents that sprinkle clues along the way, nothing is to be taken at face value. Brilliant.
