After spending a few minutes lost in thought, Danny regains awareness when his therapist
gets his attention. She asks him to remember the traumatic reason why he’s here, and Danny begins
telling the story of how he lost her daughter. He had taken Minnie to the park, and while the girl
was having fun, Danny got distracted for just one second. This was enough for Minnie to disappear
without a trace. Danny became suspicious of a guy named Lyle, who had been staring at the kids
that day, and he managed to have him arrested. However Lyle’s lawyer claimed innocence due to
mental incapacity, insisting Lyle didn’t remember what happened or where Minnie was. Years passed
and Danny’s wife left him, but he never moved on. Once the therapy session is over, Danny looks at
pictures of Minnie and his very blonde and white wife Vivian before meeting with his partner Nicks.
Together they head towards a local bank because they received an anonymous tip warning them of
an imminent robbery. Nicks explains two other branches of the same bank were previously robbed
already, but only one specific safety deposit box was taken every time even if they didn't have any
money. When they arrive, the two detectives join their surveillance team in the truck to observe
the scene outside the bank. They soon notice a man called Dellrayne, who Danny thinks looks
familiar. He sits next to a woman on a bench, and when Dellrayne says it’s very hot today,
the woman begins walking away actually repeating it. Then Dellrayne talks to the cops in front of
the bank, who easily let him pass. Danny realizes Dellrayne has accomplices and immediately goes
after him. When he gets inside, an employee tries to stop him, so Danny secretly steals his keys and
pretends he wants to open a safety box. He’s then taken to the deposit and when the man discovers
he’s missing the keys, he leaves to find them, giving Danny the chance to use the key and open
the box number that was robbed in the other branches. To his shock, he finds a picture of
his daughter with a handwritten note instructing him to “find Lev Dellrayne”. Meanwhile the woman
outside continues to complain about the heat and walks around while taking off her clothes,
not stopping at the traffic lights and causing an accident that makes a bunch of cars crash,
blocking the road. At that moment, Dellrayne enters the bank and with just one word,
he makes the receptionist decide they’re closed for the day. Suddenly all the front door cops
burst inside and threaten everyone to make them run while the receptionist goes to retrieve the
same deposit box. Danny pulls out his gun and tells her to stop, but it’s like she can’t even
tell he’s there and keeps on moving. The cops soon join them and shoot Danny, who thankfully
is wearing a bulletproof vest. Then they escort the woman with the box out of the bank and get
in an armored truck, which they drive until they find the road blocked but the woman suffering from
imaginary heat. The receptionist tries to dodge her and ends up crashing the truck, immediately
dying from her injuries. Dellrayne approaches the crash site, grabs the box, and puts a bomb in the
woman’s hand before leaving. By the time Danny finally catches up, the bomb blows up, destroying
all evidence. Danny notices Dellrayne running away and immediately starts chasing him. They enter an
old building and Danny is startled by a sudden noise, but it’s just his fellow detectives. The
three of them go upstairs to find Dellrayne on the roof, but when he says he’s the wrong man,
the two detectives turn their weapons against Danny. Dellrayne also mentions Lyle, implying he
knows something about Minnie. Danny takes out the picture to demand answers and Dellrayne finally
realizes the box is empty at the same time Nicks arrives with backup. Finding himself cornered,
Dellrayne tells the detectives to clean up before jumping to escape. The two detectives shoot
each other and when Danny looks at the street, Dellrayne is gone. Nicks then informs Danny only
one guard survived and he claims not to remember anything, just like Lyle did. In the evening,
Danny is reviewing the footage when he gets a call from Nicks, who informs him they’ve tracked the
anonymous caller and gives him the address. Danny goes to the location and meets Diana, a psychic
who is currently working with a big burly man. The guy goes outside to wait on his bike while
Danny asks some questions, but Diana refuses to answer and asks Danny to leave, obviously
scared of something. At that moment, someone approaches the big man outside and suddenly,
he’s driving his bike right through the store, intending to kill Diana and Danny. They move out
of the way just in time and when the guy sees he’s failed to kill them, he uses a piece of debris to
end things for himself. Seeing as Diana is now in danger too, Danny takes her to the police station,
where she confesses the whole story. It’s revealed that Dellrayne is a hypnotic, meaning he possesses
psychic abilities that allow him to control people's minds. Diana has the same powers,
and both she and Dellrayne used to belong to a classified agency known as The Division,
established by the U.S. government. This program was designed to train individuals with psychic
abilities, and at first they pretended to help them, but later it became clear that they wanted
to use them for conflict and politics. When Danny doesn’t believe her, Diana takes control of Nicks,
making him sit, cry, and then go outside for a smoke just by talking to him. Her story goes
on to explain Dellrayne is the most powerful hypnotic, but he went rogue. The Division tried
to stop him and Diana was one of the agents to fight him, but Dellrayne escaped anyway,
so Diana quit and started a new life to stay hidden. When she read about the robberies on
the news and heard nobody remembered anything, she knew Dellrayne was behind it. Meanwhile outside,
Dellrayne finds Nicks and uses his powers on him. Suddenly Nicks storms back inside,
ready to shoot Danny and Diana. He won’t answer to reason, so Danny has to shoot him in the leg
to stop him. Nicks still attacks him and starts a fight, causing Danny to struggle against him until
he manages to handcuff him to the cell bars. However Nick is still under the influence of
Dellrayne’s power and he can’t stop trying until he completes the orders. He desperately struggles
against the handcuffs, hurting his wrist in the process. The pain doesn’t stop him and he almost
manages to escape, but Diana cuts in and shoots him in the head first. Danny is furious, but
Diana explains Nicks would’ve died anyway and this counts as setting him free. Since they have no way
to explain Nicks’ death, Danny and Diana run out of town while their faces appear all over the news
as fugitives. At a diner, Danny confesses that he finally believes Lyle when he said he didn’t
remember anything and that Dellrayne is obviously behind Minnie’s disappearance. At that moment the
local sheriff enters the diner and recognizes them, but before he can take out his gun,
Diana uses her powers to make him call the station and tell them he saw the fugitives running away;
she also makes him pay for everything. When Danny and Diana try to leave, the sheriff gets
a message on his radio - it's Dellrayne, who says he’s coming for them. As soon as they come out,
they find Dellrayne and two cops waiting for them. Danny tells Diana to get away while he distracts
them and he runs towards the train rails, where he carefully moves to hide behind passing trains and
stay away from the men that are now looking for him. After some sneaking around, Danny suddenly
turns on his heel and is shocked to find the landscape folding in front of him. A sudden
noise behind him reveals Dellrayne and the cops, and now the landscape returns to normal, revealing
it was another mind trick of Dellrayne. When the cops are about to shoot him, a truck suddenly
runs over them, turning out to be Diana. The duo escapes together in the vehicle and begins making
their way to Mexico. Diana explains a hypnotic can make someone see whatever they want them to see
unless they have a psychic block, and Diana thinks Danny somehow has a very powerful one because she
hasn’t been able to use her powers on him. However it seems Dellrayne can. Later when they make it to
the border, a guard tries to stop them, but Diana uses her powers to make the guy let them pass.
Eventually they go to see Jeremiah, who also used to work at The Division. He doesn’t have powers,
but he has a very strong block that only Dellrayne can break. When they knock at his door, Jeremiah
sends his cleaning lady to open it, but soon gets suspicious and takes out his own weapon as Danny
enters alone. At that moment the cleaning lady takes out a gun too and it’s revealed to be Diana,
who had used her powers to put an illusion around herself while sending the other lady to
hide in the closet. When they ask Jeremiah about Dellrayne, he explains that Dellrayne is after
something called “Project Domino”, a powerful weapon created by The Division that has the
capability to control the minds of individuals in any situation, even those highly resistant to
hypnosis. Dellrayne stole the Domino and concealed it in an undisclosed location, and to ensure its
secrecy he wiped his own memory, only leaving secret clues behind as potential triggers in case
he needs to remember. The Division captured him shortly afterward, but six weeks ago,
something triggered his memory and he escaped. Now he’s looking for other clues to remember
the location of the Domino, and Jeremiah suspects that the trigger is in one of those bank deposit
boxes. When Danny confesses he found a picture of Minnie in the boxes, Jeremiah asks to look at it,
and Diana immediately gets suspicious. Jeremiah reveals he’s actually Dellrayne wearing a psychic
disguise and shoots at them. Danny and Diana run away, trying to mix their presence in the street
crowd. Some men suddenly turn against them, apparently being under Dellrayne’s powers too,
so Danny shoots his gun in the air to make the civilians run away. After pushing a few men off,
Diana and Danny run to another street, where they shoot at a driver’s helmet to make him
fall off his bike. Then they steal the bike and begin driving very fast through town,
pushing away any new person that tries to stop them. Suddenly the landscape begins
folding again and Danny feels confused, but Diana reminds him it isn’t real and he keeps going,
causing a truck to get off the road and crash. The building it hit begins crumbling above them,
so the duo drops the bike and runs away, only to find themselves cornered in a blocked alley.
Dellrayne arrives with a bunch of cops under his command and tries using his powers to catch them.
However Danny remembers what Diana told him about the block and he concentrates his mind,
starting a power of wills that abruptly ends with the cops turning against Dellrayne. As the police
take him away, Danny freaks out because he never had powers before but he’s obviously been trained
to control them, and Diana reaches the conclusion his memory must’ve been wiped. Afterward they go
to see another friend of Diana’s named River, who possesses exceptional hacking skills and
built the network for the Division. River does some searching on his computer and finds Danny’s
records with marine records and the police, but there are no mentions of a wife. When River looks
a bit deeper, Danny is devastated to learn his ex-wife Vivian is also a member of The Division.
Her location is encrypted, so it’ll take River a few hours to crack. Danny and Diana go to another
room to rest, and Danny shares his story with Vivian. They had fallen in love during college,
then they got married and started their family, but as soon as Minnie was abducted
their relationship was completely shattered. Danny thinks Vivian lied about her job but that her pain
had been real. Later while Diana takes a shower, Danny receives a call from an unknown number,
which turns out to be Dellrayne. He uses his powers on Danny to make him hurt Diana,
and Danny tries his best to resist them as he hangs up. However there are still traces of the
power in his mind, and Danny hits the table before looking for Diana, only to realize all this time
he’s been carrying scissors in his hand and he didn’t notice. He forces himself to stick them
on the wall and walk away, but as Diana comes out to check on him, Danny looks again and realizes
the scissors are still in his hand. He raises them as he tries to fight the impulse to attack her,
but Diana sees his reflection in the mirror and immediately turns around to kiss him,
providing a distraction that helps him break out of the impulse. They spend a few moments getting
frisky together and eventually fall asleep, but Danny wakes up when he has nightmares of his
family memories and Diana somehow turning into Vivian. Then Danny sneaks into the other room
where River is sleeping too. Using the computer, Danny is shocked to discover Diana has the name
“Vivian” on the system and she’s still working for the Division. It turns out that Danny’s memory was
modified: Diana had been his real wife all along but every time he looked a the pictures, he would
see the blonde woman instead. Then Danny looks for Minnie’s profile and he’s shocked to discover
she’s Domino. Her skills are so great because she’s the daughter of two powerful hypnotics.
At that moment Diana wakes up and tells Danny the whole story. Both she and Danny were part
of the Division, and when the organization learned about Minnie’s powers, they tried to take her to
train her to be the most powerful hypnotic in the world. Diana agreed with this plan,
but Danny refused to let the government use a child like that. It was he who kidnapped Minnie
to then delete his own memories to keep her safe. Danny starts remembering his plan and explains he
wanted to protect Minnie from every person in the room, revealing he’s finally realized
this isn’t real. River’s room suddenly goes away and Danny finds himself in the Division’s base,
where he’s been put through an illusion to try to get Minnie’s location out of him. His cop life
is a lie, everything he’s lived since he saw the therapist is part of the Division’s plan
to make him remember Minnie’s location. Diana, Nicks, the fake Vivian, River, the therapist,
and all the people from the bank are all Division members that had been acting their part. Dellrayne
is there too and has the picture, explaining the words written there are the key to finding Minnie.
They’ve been trying for four years to get Danny to remember, but whenever they are close enough,
Danny figures it out and breaks the illusion, so they have to start again. Danny still refuses to
cooperate and runs outside, where he finds all the sets they’ve built to make the illusion more
real. The Division agents immediately surround him and tase him to knock him out. Moments later,
Danny wakes up inside a lab and Diana tells him her love for him is real, but Danny still insults
her. Giving up, Diana and the others proceed to connect Danny to a machine and reset his memory,
so whenever they ask him a question, he can only say “I don’t know”. When he wakes up, Danny thinks
he’s at the therapist’s office again. The new illusion starts exactly the same way as last time,
using even the same words. As Danny goes through the motions, in real life the Division keeps
an eye on his vitals, and the agents play their parts around the set. However when Danny gets in
the fake elevator and looks at his phone, he sees the pictures with Diana’s real face, meaning his
block has finally become strong enough to stop the reset. For now Danny pretends to play along. Nicks
comes to pick him up and they go to the bank, which is just another part of the set. While they
look at the surveillance footage, Danny pretends to be taking notes about the case in his notebook.
Like last time, he leaves the truck to enter the bank, but when the Division gets distracted by
waiting for him to cross the door, Danny suddenly disappears. As all the agents go looking for him,
Danny manages to steal a van and begins driving like crazy, running over every set piece and
person that dares to stand in his way. Diana uses a radio to transmit her powers through the
speakers that are all over the base, but Danny’s block is strong and he just drives away. At that
moment Nicks finds Danny’s notebook and discovers he’s been using it to decipher the phrase from
the picture. It turns out “find Lev Dellrayne” is an anagram for “Deer Valley Lane”, which is
Minnie’s location. A few hours later, Danny makes it to Deer Valley, where Carl and Thelma receive
him with their weapons out. After confirming he has remembered everything, they take him inside,
where Danny finds a grown Minnie playing with dominos. Father and daughter reunite with a hug
and suddenly Minnie announces her mother is here. Meanwhile the Division agents are approaching in
helicopters and a quick system search tells them that the ranch in Deer Valley belongs to Thelma
and Carl, who are Danny’s foster parents. When they land, Thelma and Carl give a warning shot
and talk to Diana as if they know her, but Diana doesn’t remember either of them. Since they won’t
cooperate, Dellrayne orders his men to shoot them. Diana is desperate to get her daughter
and runs to the bodies, trying to get them to talk before they die. At that moment Danny comes out
and says the woman he loves wouldn’t want such a life for her daughter, implying Diana is a pawn of
the Division. Then Minnie comes out and hugs her mother, saying she’s proud of her for coming home.
Diana is confused, and Minnie reveals all this has been a plan to escape from the Division. Dellrayne
begins freaking out as he realizes this isn’t real and he shoots the house, causing the illusion to
start wavering. Minnie uses her powers to make Nicks shoot all the other agents, and the few
that try to resist it are controlled by Danny so they’ll end things for themselves instead.
Suddenly the illusion ends and Dellrayne discovers they’re on a fake set near the hills. Carl and
Thelma are alive and they proceed to shoot any agents that are still standing. In the meantime,
Minnie connects to her mother to fix her memories. Diana sees herself tied to a chair with a man in a
red mask that is resetting her mind while ignoring her pleas for help. Diana opens her eyes, shocked
by all the new memories, and when Dellrayne is about to shoot her, Minnie uses his powers to make
him end things for himself instead. Then Danny tells the whole story: as soon as Minnie was born,
they knew she was extremely powerful. The Division began training her, confirming she could be very
dangerous and used for war. Danny and Diana didn’t want that future for her but they also knew the
Division would never let them go, so they made a plan to escape them for good. Minnie was kept
hidden with her grandparents so she could practice her powers until she was strong enough to fight
the Division while her parents deleted their own memories. Danny wrote the photograph with
the clue for himself, then he put on that red mask to modify Diana’s memory and made her believe she
was on the Division’s side. That way one day she could make them all come here and kill them to end
things for good. The family hugs as they celebrate they’re finally free from the Division. The three
of them leave with Thelma in a helicopter while Carl says he’ll stay behind to clean up. However
as soon as they’re gone, it’s revealed that the dead Dellrayne on the ground is actually Carl, and
the alive Carl had been Dellrayne all along. Now he can escape and start a new plan to get Minnie.
