Never trust other people's memories, and watch out for your own
Sean Whittlesea was there when his wife was murdered. He saw the
light leave her eyes. He held her dead body in his arms. He knows
he wept, but he cannot recollect a single other detail. Tormented
by the tragedy, Sean relives the horror over and over again. As he
struggles to recall what really happened, his imagination serves up
an endless chain of scenarios. The truth, however, remains hidden
in the vault of his memory, and the key is nowhere to be found.
Nearly two decades later, Sean, now remarried and a father of two,
wins a bizarre contest hosted by his eccentric boss. The prize is
the Memory Palace, a state-of-the-art black box that purportedly
allows its possessor to relive every moment he has ever
experienced, playing out all the memories on a screen. While the
small machine at first appears to be the answer to the mystery
surrounding the death of his wife, it instead upends Sean's life.
He pushes his family further and further away as the Memory Palace
forces him to confront harsh realities and difficult questions that
he lacks the strength to face or answer. Spiraling downward, Sean
encounters increasingly harrowing challenges that force him to
realize that his memory is not the only thing at stake. To recover
the truth about his past, Sean must fight for his very life.
