High in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, in the middle of a majestic natural park, sits a small Natural History Museum and Gift Shop decorated to look like the forest outside.

The world has been Restarted, and no one knows why. One day, people just woke up without their memories. They found themselves sharing houses with strangers—people who must have been their husbands and wives, parents and children, but they weren’t sure. All they knew was what the officials told them: the Restart was for the best, and that they would make new memories soon enough.

The Man and the Woman are one such couple. She’d like to think their marriage was a happy one, but he’s not convinced. He’s having trouble adjusting, refuses to sign up for a job, and he won’t let either of them sell their dreams. The officials will give good money to anyone who has their dreams extracted, but the Man believes that they are the only record of what society was like before the Restart.

As the Woman gets more invested in her new job cataloguing dreams for the officials, the Man teams up with a group of rebels, trying to rediscover lost words that might give him access to the past. His actions place them both under suspicion. No one knows what the officials would do to them, but it can’t be good… right?
