John Washington is a recently widowed employee of company called Mindscape, that offers unusual services - their specialists are able to look into memories of a person and thus learn what happened in criminal or personal situations. ohn’s career took a nasty turn when he sustained a stroke during one of the sessions for Mindscape. This put him out of action for two years and stretched his finances to the limit. Now almost broke, haunted by memories of his late wife, he is given a second chance by his former employer, Sebastian, from Mindscape. But to his disappointment he is not given a top priority case, rather one that is suitable for a beginner - wealthy Greene family hires him to deal with their troubled 16-year-old daughter, Anna, who has eating disorder and never leaves her room. Sebastian was in past trying to help her, but did not get any results, so now he hopes John will make the breakthrough, but family doesn’t want John to have access to her files from previous sessions. Her stepfather would prefer her sent to a mental institution, especially after what happened in the boarding school she was attending. John begins the therapy and moves back with Anna to her memories, that hide some dark family secrets, hoping to learn the reasons behind her behaviour. After breaking the first ice John is hopeful that the therapy will give good results, but strange thing begin to happen during the sessions, but also outside of the Greene residence.
Mystery movie with elements of science fiction deals with the memories and unusual therapy that allows the therapist to actually see things that happened in the past through the eyes of the patient. Of course the memories are what mind records of them and they could be deceptive. Good cast, interesting plot, intriguing atmosphere - all of it creates quite good mystery movie.
