After facing the Hulk, Logan has memories he doesn't remember, an entire life he doesn't recall living, especially one involving a woman. Having abandoned his post at Department H, he sets out in search of answers, while fragments of memories from before joining the department surface in his confused mind. However, not everyone likes this, and especially not everyone wants him to have these answers, sending a dangerous mutant assassin after him, someone with whom Logan has a history, even if Logan doesn't remember. But this could only increase the chaos even more. Logan's search brings back some of his memories and leads him to where the woman from his memories is, or where she is buried, as well as revealing her assassin, the mutant sent by the department to go after Logan, Sabretooth. But he's not the only one interested in the Canadian mutant. With so many uncertainties along the way, one thing is certain: death and blood will abound.
