John Doe is the creator of a Virtual Reality/Sensory Deprivation (VRSD) chamber, the OmniSyn 2.0, that can facilitate time travel via the internet. John Doe tries to regain his memory and identity while being hunted down with his own invention. The present and future intertwine as John Doe's would-be assassin, Cameron, closes in on his objective. All the while, a mind war is being waged that, in the future, takes on the form of a global nuclear holocaust caused by a terrorist group known only as Noxius. The internet, a virtual and multi-dimensional wasteland, becomes the battlefield where battles are waged for hearts and minds... but mostly minds.
