Nowhere Man

I thought it was a provocative series. How's that for Hollywoody wording? -s- Thomas Veil is a photojournalist. He's at his favorite restaurant with his wife and knows the owner personally. He gets up to use the restroom. When he comes back, his life has been erased. No one recognizes him. He's kicked out and his home is not his anymore. His wife denies knowing him and is with another man. ATMS don't work, his Mom had a stroke and is incapable of recognizing him. His best friend is dead. Everything is gone. Totally erased. It seems his circumstance is based on a photo he took called Hidden Agenda. It depicts four men hanged in South America. His proof is in negatives of the shoot. A secret organization chases him to retrieve them. So most of the series is about Veil keeping the negatives from them and trying to find out more about them. It's revealed he was part of an experiment in brainwashing called Project Marathon. All the facts he thought he knew were implanted. He is a covert op, his code is Gemini and Heritage House is investigating the Organization and Marathon. Hidden Agenda is indeed that as the people actually killed were four Senators. He watches a tape explaining all at the end of the series but it's left up in the air. What's this got to do with anything? Everything. Don't doubt for a minute that mind games are not played. There are people who devise them full time. They just are not as intricate as portrayed in Nowhere Man. However, people do disappear for one reason or another. People go off the grid on their own or are disappeared by others. You can make of this what you will. Reality is what people agree on. And it just might be that if we don't have a strong sense of self, that reality will be what we are told instead of what is in our hearts and minds. Somewhere out there lies the truth.........
