A paranoid, high-stakes thriller about a teen fugitive piecing together a fragmented identity while hunted by a shadowy conspiracy.

When Sam regains consciousness in the middle of a crowded subway, he doesn't know how he got there, where he came from nor his own name. He franticly searches for his identity, using the contents of his backpack. Slowly but surely he realizes his life is in great danger.
