The protagonist of the story is John Murdoch, a man who wakes up in a hotel room with no memories of his past, a dead prostitute lying next to him, and a mysterious group of strangers chasing after him. He discovers that he has telekinetic powers and is being hunted by a group of beings called the Strangers, who manipulate the city to alter reality and experiment on humans to understand the nature of the human soul.
As he navigates through the strange, noir-like city, John meets Emma, a doctor who leads him to a group of humans also seeking to escape the Strangers' grasp. Through a series of flashbacks, John remembers he had a wife named Anna who he deeply loved but can't recall her face or why they were separated.
John discovers that the Strangers have been manipulating his memories and the memories of the other humans in the city. With Emma and other rebels, John fights against the Strangers and uncovers the truth about his past and the nature of the world they're living in.

It combines elements of film noir, science fiction, and horror to create a unique and surreal world.
