When Della Lopez, a special agent with the Ministry of Philosophy and Justice, violates her oath to the agency by joining a religious cell group, her husband, Brian, orders her memory to be wiped and a new personality implanted. Years later, racked with guilt over what he had done, Brian looks for a way to restore his marriage only to discover Della married another man-a suspected religionist.
With the help of a former convict, Brian kidnaps his ex-wife in hopes of restoring her personae only to discover that she may hold the secret to reviving religious freedoms long suppressed.
