Detective Patricia Sherman (Terri Hawkes) requests that Liam Kincaid (Robert Leeshock) help her look into the deaths of four people, all of whom supposedly died from overloaded synapses. Meanwhile, in front of the flagship Mneme salon, Dr. Ray Suriyama (Jovanni Sy) answers questions for the press about the Mneme, a new Taelon/Doors venture that allows people to relive their most cherished memories. Da'an (Leni Parker) reports the progress of the Mneme project to Zo'or (Anita La Selva) and Zo'or informs Da'an he will now take over the project. When Da'an agrees with this decision rather quickly, Zo'or suspects he has ulterior motives and tells Sandoval (Von Flores) to increase his surveillance of Da'an. Meanwhile at the Flat Planet Café, Augur (Richard Chevolleau) watches the grand opening of the Mneme salon on television with his new silent partner in the establishment, Dr. Belman (Majel Barrett). They watch as Renee Palmer (Jayne Heitmeyer) invites Mayor Carter Dubois (Eugene Clark) to be the first client. The Mayor relives an erotic memory with a young Asian woman, but tells the audience he experienced childhood memories of playing baseball. During the reception, Da'an explains to Liam the operating principles of the Mneme, giving Liam a possible insight into the mysterious deaths -- memory overload.

Later, at Club 101, Liam asks Giselle (Katie Griffin) if her late boyfriend could have purchased an illegal Mneme memory. She acknowledges the possibility and tells Liam that a guy named Gavin Frost (Stephen Bogaert) runs a black market Mneme operation in the alley behind the club. Liam and Renee find Gavin, and just as Liam is about to purchase a memory ride, Sandoval (Von Flores) arrives on the scene. Sandoval proceeds to discuss issues with Gavin, his business partner, and Renee and Liam steal the truck with the Mneme machine. They bring it to Augur for examination and the next day, Gavin is found dead.

While scanning the Mneme, Augur finds several discs stored in a compartment. Liam decides to test his theory of memory overload and plugs in a disc, which contains memories belonging to SI War veteran Lieutenant McKee (Trent McMullen). Augur detaches Liam from the machine when he begins screaming in pain and Liam concludes that Gavin was selling stolen memories.

Renee discovers the requisitions of all the stolen Mneme parts were made by Sanches, a Doors International clerk and employee of Dr. Suriyama. She terminates Suriyama's employment and as he leaves, Suriyama tells Renee that he possesses the experimental discs and her memories. Liam confronts Da'an about the use of the Mneme to eavesdrop on people through their memories. Da'an is baffled because he is under the impression that humans want to share and evolve toward a unity or commonality like the Taelons.

Renee fears that Suriyama will flee and take her memory disc with him. She and Liam return to the Mneme salon, but when they enter the facility, they are caught in a Mneme field and bombarded with their own memories. With the last of his strength, Liam fires his energy pistol at the power supply disrupting the Mneme machines. The room clears and Dr. Suriyama is found dead. Sandoval enters, explaining how he had Suriyama under surveillance for some time, and exits without an explanation. Renee and Liam suspect that Sandoval is involved, but know they will never be able to implicate him in the bootleg Mneme machine deaths. Later, Liam goes to see Lieutenant McKee in a rest home and they discuss the outcome of the battle they've both experienced. Liam then presents McKee with the Mneme disc, returning his memories.
