What would you do if you woke up and didn't know your own name?
Eighteen year-old Ellie woke up in a laboratory-styled room, with a woman who seemed to have answers. Ellie didn't know anything, or anyone. Not even herself. No recollection of how she got to that room, a past life, a past love, family, or friends. Her mind is a blank, empty slate for her to build upon and fill in.
With a passport and foster mother in tow, Ellie travels to a small town in Montana to completely restart her life - as a senior in high school, of course. Along with struggling to cope with her brand new life, Ellie is adamant in digging into her past, which includes discovering her missing parents, researching her ex life, and finding out the real reason she lost her memory. But a laptop and a few friends can only take you so far.
How far would you go to piece together your past? For Ellie, "too far" is not an option...
