But at the last moment, the launch is delayed due to weather, even though everyone can see its a perfectly sunny day.

The real reason for the delay rests deep in the mind of a NASA scientist who has awoken that morning to find his memory completely erased. Knowint only that he's being followed and watched at every turn, he must find the clues to his own identity before he can discover who is responsible.
