When his girlfriend has him erased from her memories, Jim Carrey decides to have the procedure done himself and erase her from his mind. During one long, all-night session conducted by teenage computer geeks who would rather be spending their time with their girlfriends, what at first seemed like a good idea quickly becomes a nightmare. Together with the "memory" of his girlfriend, he tries to escape the relentless zapping of his brain and save their relationship from total oblivion. Ingenious story unfolds like a fever dream, but lacks any real insight into the failed relationship of two people living dangerously close to mental illness, even before they ever met each other.
