Flashback 14

In a dystopian future where memories can be extracted and relived, a disillusioned detective is tasked with investigating a series of programmed 'flashbacks' that are causing widespread societal unrest. As he delves deeper, he uncovers a conspiracy that blurs the lines between manufactured reality and genuine recollection, forcing him to question his own past and the true nature of his mission. He must race against time to expose the truth before the fragmented memories consume society entirely.
