Synopsis

[edit]

A department manager of a mobile media company is getting to know who are his real friends and foes after losing his ability to recognize faces (prosopagnosia, where damage to the temporal lobe can lead to "face-blindness"[7]) due to an attack on him. He teams up with his secretary to try and solve the mystery and in the process falls in love with the secretary. His face-blindess is essential to the plot.
