Overview

The year is 2042, an inmate known only as Patient 56 finds himself incarcerated in the secure unit of St. Luke's Mind Care Hospital, New York. Suffering from amnesia and unable to speak, his only way of communicating is through the symbols he draws on the wall with his feet. The loose bandages and fresh scars from burns on his head and body indicate that he is recovering from a serious and traumatic accident. Patient 56 is kept in a zombified state aided by a daily cocktail of sedatives as prescribed by the uncaring Doctor Booker; it appears his plight is hopeless. Kindly nurse, Hope Thompson, believes that Patient 56's seemingly random wall scrawling is a desperate plea for help. She discovers Doctor Booker's scurrilous plans to test a new experimental treatment on Patient 56, and vows to do all she can to help him recover his lost memory. Hope ensures that Patient 56 is a special case under her care and gets him on the road to well-being. Teaming up with the kindly Dr. De'ath, and his cutting edge Hypnotic Modulator Machine (HMM), they begin an amazing journey through the mind of Patient 56. As the layers of 56's damaged memory are peeled back, they start to piece together his incredible life story and embark on an adventure of discovery that is the Space Cadet 56 Saga.
