Noted photographer Peter Bunther has it all, professional success and the love of his ever-supportive wife, Rosemary. All of this is abruptly interrupted when Peter comes upon the puzzling realization that one of his oldest pictures has become invisible to him, as has any recollection of even taking it.

Efforts by Rosemary to get to the bottom of Peter's strange behavior become thwarted by two members of the "Memory Removal Company" who, representing Peter's growing dementia, arrive and proceed to figuratively and literally take apart his home and life until there is nothing left. It is at this final moment that Peter realizes that he will have to fight hardest for the person who means the most to him.
