A woman living in a suburb wakes up and sees flames all around her. She runs out and calls for help but noone else sees the fire. When the fire seems to follow her, she tries to flee in her car, but she crashes and dies.

This gets the attention of new ISA agent Tulsa Giles. She brings in her friend Lambert, and asks him to investigate this death and 20 other couples moving from what would seem to be a paradise. She wants to go undercover and have Lambert as her husband.

The ""newly wed"" couple buy a house. The contract gets SELMA's interest, since anyone that moves out of the house inside 2 years breaches the contract.

Soon however, things get worse when their neighbour thinks that he's back in Vietnam, and starts shooting. SELMA analyses his brain and discovers that it has been manipulated by a futuristic method.

But the situation is about to get even worse, when the method is applied to Tulsa too, and she believes that Lambert wants to kill her.
