If you could erase a bad memory, would you?  

Nepenthe, a tech company, has unlocked the science of erasing memories and has opened it to the public. Patients have two options: they can knowingly erase a memory or they can erase a memory as well as the knowledge of doing so. 

After running into legal trouble, Nepenthe is forced to alert former patients that they’ve unknowingly had a memory removed and give them the option to restore it. We follow Finn, Mei, William, and Oscar as they receive the grappling news as well as Noor, a psychologist that works there. 

Tell Me An Ending does a good job of questioning life, love, morality, mental health, and trauma. The rippling effects of the situation are powerful throughout and begs you to figure out what happens next.
