Doesn't she? Maria has Asperger's - and no memory of the murder. DNA evidence places Maria at the scene of the crime, yet she claims she is innocent. Then she starts to remember. A strange room. Strange people. Being watched. As Maria gets closer to the truth, she is drawn into a web of international intrigue and must fight not only to clear her name but also to remain alive.
