Hard-boiled police detective Kellen O'Reilly is hard at work organizing a police strike, but keeps getting distracted by vague flashbacks of a mysterious Dr Satorious. At one union meeting he finds himself in a heated debate with Sarah, a civil rights lawyer who is currently trying a case against Dr Satorious. Sarah believes Satorious is using a combination of LSD and electroshock therapy to program people to kill, and then wipe their memories clean. Searching into Satorious' lab, O'Reilly discovers a computer file which lists assassins, including Lee Harvey Oswald. The detective confronts Satorious with this evidence, but is caught off guard when an assistant shows up. They strap the detective into an electroshock machine in an attempt to erase the incriminating data from his memory.
