The story

The film opens with a sequence, played in reverse, where a man fatally shoots another in the head and takes a Polaroid photo of the dead man.

The police did not accept that there was a second attacker, but Leonard believes the attacker's name is "John G" or "James G".

However, Sammy administered each injection, giving her a fatal overdose.
