Quick Synopsis

Leonard Shelby is trying to find the man who raped and killed his wife, but his search is complicated by a rare form of short-term memory loss that prevents him from remembering events for more than a few minutes. While he can recall his life before the accident that caused his condition, Leonard struggles to keep track of recent events, his current location, and his purpose, making it difficult to follow leads and piece together the truth.

Detailed Synopsis of Memento

Leonard Shelby is tracking down the man who raped and murdered his wife. The difficulty of locating his wife's killer, however, is compounded by the fact that he suffers from a rare, untreatable form of short-term memory loss. Although he can recall details of life before his accident, Leonard cannot remember what happened fifteen minutes ago, where he's going, or why.
