In a near-future Detroit, "memory dampening" has become a regulated commodity for the elite. Michael B. Jordan stars as Elias Vane, a high-end "Architect" who designs curated synthetic memories to replace traumatic ones. Shay Mitchell plays Sloane Whitaker, a corporate investigator who realizes her own memories of a high-profile conspiracy have been tampered with by Vane’s firm. When Elias discovers a "glitch" in Sloane’s psyche that could unravel the city’s social fabric, the two form an uneasy alliance to recover the truth before their own identities are permanently rewritten.
