Prologue - News Story

In the near future, the government implements a policy to deal with criminals. They go through a "mindwipe." Their former personalities and traumas are wiped away. They get a makeover and are sent far away. The people left over are amnesiacs- or HARPs (Humanely and Aggressively Rehabilitated Person).

The government reprogramming doesn't always work, though. Sometimes their past lives come back... violently.
