What was the first season about?
The first season centered around Roberts’s character Heidi Bergman, a social worker, and counsellor at the Homecoming Transitional Support Center which helped war veterans in living a civilian life. Slowly it is discovered that the facility is running a shady business of wiping out the memories of the soldiers by “curing” them of PTSD through a drug. Heidi then takes the drug to wipe her memories of working with the facility, increases the dose of her client, Walter and finds a new job. She later revisits her memories and looks for Walter who has completely forgotten her.
