A violent impact with a car leaves Ellis Landis unconscious and bleeding on a dark desert road, and the driver is shocked to find the man naked, with nothing more than a strange metal device clutched in his hands. "The device, for some unexplainable reason, meant everything."
After waking in the hospital, Landis finds he has lost his memory. As events continue to unfold around him, he senses his life is in danger. Doctor Elisha Sienna, guided by sinister military forces, tries to recover his memory and gain access to the earth-shattering secret that is locked in his mind. But she is not alone. A radical terrorist group-The Enigma-wants their key holder back.
"Again the word exploded in his mind - Enigma - it meant everything and nothing all at once. The whole thing was an enigma, a riddle he had to solve. He was sure he was part of something bigger, something important and that he and the device were at the heart of it."
While fleeing from a set of bizarre experiments and violent torture, Ellis slowly recovers the dark secrets of his paranoid mind-secrets that could mean the difference between life and death for all humankind.
