"The Stranger" is about a man with no name, hunted by a small army. His memory wiped, the man somehow feels he is on an important mission. Vague visions convince him many lives depend on his success and not knowing his purpose haunts him. Whatever it takes, he has to know who and what he really is. Shot and bleeding, he finds refuge at the Lazlow house, where Doc and his daughter Mary help him uncover his truth. Through the building tension and suspense of the encroaching manhunt, he finally recalls answers that challenge our view of reality and source of life. Only Jack Logan, the governor and leader of the private army, knows the real purpose of the stranger's presence. The man can destroy his criminal empire and save millions of people in the virtual world in which they live. He knows a colossal computer called the Genesis Machine that has been infected with a Doomsday virus runs the virtual world. The stranger has just 40 days to make connection with the outside world and get millions of people out. If Logan can kill him before then, the virus will stop and Logan will inherit the virtual world-and all the people in it.
