Reverse engineer Michael Jennings takes highly paid jobs for tech companies on one condition: when the work is done, his short-term memory is erased. Ben Affleck is Jennings, who wakes up after a secret three-year assignment to find his fortune gone, the FBI closing in, and a cryptic envelope left in place of his paycheck. As he follows the clues, the missing project points back to a powerful CEO and technology tied to glimpses of the future. Aaron Eckhart and Uma Thurman are caught up in the corporate conspiracy surrounding the years Jennings can’t remember.
