Virginia, 1954. When a woman wakes on a patient transport bus arriving at Hanover State Psychiatric Hospital, she remembers nothing of her life before that moment. Doctors tell her she’s Dorothy Frasier, a paranoid schizophrenic, committed for her violent delusions. She’s certain they’re wrong --- until disturbing visions of a dystopian future in which frantic scientists urge her to complete “the mission” and save mankind begin to invade her reality. Believing it’s Hanover causing the hallucinations, she tells no one and focuses only on escaping --- until there’s a visitor. A man whose loving face --- and touch --- she remembers, a man who knows all about her visions, because he’s spent years helping her cope with them: her husband, Paul Frasier. Now she’s sure of nothing, caught between two realities.
