A virus ravages Black River, robbing residents of memories. A few are spared, including teen Cardinal Cassidy, but without a family or home left he squats in a refugee camp–like quarantine. With a dark past, Cardinal must decide whether he is lucky to remember or would prefer to forget. A plodding plot hinders elements of psychological poignancy.
