Nowhere Man

Nowhere Man was a 1995-1996 American television series about a man named Thomas Vail (Bruce Greenwood) whose life is turned upside-down when all traces of his existence are erased and everyone he knows-even his wife (Megan Gallagher)- claim that they have never met him. Thomas suspects that someone is out to destroy him because of a photograph he took while on assignment in South America. He goes on the run, trying to solve the mystery of the photograph while dodging the people who will do anything to get their hands on the photo and its negatives.
