*Synopsis | Wiped Clean (2011)
Imagine waking up one morning and you've forgotten everything about yourself. You don't recognise your face, you don't know your family, you can't even remember your own name. That's what happened to Nicole Caird and Claire Robertson.

And what is especially alarming is that the culprit is a virus that most of us have lurking in our bodies.
