ITEM is a reinterpretation of the Indoctrination Theory, which includes modified dialogue and sequences during the final moments of the game, starting after Shepard enters the beam to the Citadel. This ending mod aims to give the player both the basis of the indoctrination theory and a satisfyingly conclusion with as few loose ends as possible.
