PLOT:
Tom Tresser is poisoned and knocked unconscious. He awakes to find himself in a strange room. The only thing familiar is his reflection and his costume - everything else is unknown. He is surrounded by three smiling nurses - each identical to the next. Their vacant eyes and frozen smiles never seem to even flinch as he grabs a nearby utensil and holds it against one of their throats demanding information. Realizing his hostage doesn't possess any information whatsoever, Tom makes a move for the door. The smiling nurses move not an inch.

Stepping out into the hallway outside he believes for a moment that he recognizes former Checkmate White Queen Amanda Waller. But as he reaches out for Waller an intense pain fills every corner of Tresser's mind until he collapses in a heap on the floor. When he recovers his bearings the master of disguise finds himself looking up at a faceless GPA agent. He reaches for the weapon he had held at the nurse's throat but it's gone - seemingly edited out of existence. Tresser runs towards the end of a brightly lit seemingly endless hallway where he believes he sees Rick Flag, leader of the Suicide Squad but as he reaches the hallways end he once more finds himself unconscious.

When his eyes re-open he now finds himself at the bottom of a drained swimming pool inside. Nearby are Count Vertigo, DEO agent Cameron Chase and another man whose name appears to have been redacted from his own memories. Vertigo's stress levels and paranoia cause his powers of spatial distortion to go completely berserk, sending the room spinning around Tresser as he tries to make some sense out of everything.

What follows from there are a series of disjointed events playing out at random. Someone - another identity-less prisoner perhaps is watching him sleep. A new (or is it old?) OMAC stands guard next to a residential white door amidst a swirling world of green. A Wonder Woman BIOMAC unit begs to be put together. And Tom encounters more people he believes he knows - Rick Flagg and Amanda Waller. But, as Cameron Chase said, "In here I don't know anyone. In here you're just another guy who doesn't show his face."

Chase, Tresser and the redacted man confront an OMAC standing guard inside the brightly lit hallway. He tells them that this is no prison and they are free to leave at any time. Suddenly a door appears out of nowhere and opens up. The redacted man races towards it but as he steps outside his face melts and blows away like sand in a windstorm. Beyond the doorway is a desert like world bathed in the red light of three suns.
