How it begins
You don't know who or where you are at first -- your head is painfully buzzing -- and a woman's voice inside your head is telling you she's trapped in a lab at Psychodyne and that you have to get something she left behind our picture, and stop them. Then: silence.
You're in a bar. After talking to the bartender, who is also your brother Steve, you learn that you are James Drayton, a hungover ex-private investigator whose wife disappeared and who lost his company to his ex-partner. You have nothing to your name but the house you haven't visited in ages, a small metal key, a foul-smelling suit, disheveled hair, and twenty dollars. And a car. Steve offers to take you wherever you want to go.
