When 25-year-old New Yorker Mia Hoffman changed her testimony as a State Witness and allowed a cop-killer to go free, she was vilified. Left with undiagnosed PTSD, she suffers extreme anxiety, and hallucinations so vivid that she’s no longer sure what’s real and what isn’t. Rejected by her friends, harassed by the police, and dismissed by the medical profession, a determined Mia forces herself to attend a residential alternative therapy training, led by Franklin Spitz, a British celebrity therapist who specializes in resolving the causes of PTSD. However, something terrible has happened to his wife, and a traumatised Franklin is starting to lose his grip on reality. Using increasingly provocative psychological techniques, he probes Mia for the hidden memories underlying her condition. But the goals of therapist and client are wildly divergent - Mia is searching for reality and Franklin is desperately trying to avoid it.This suspenseful, unpredictable, brilliantly stylish and blazingly original film pins you to your seat and keeps you entranced while you begin to question the validity of reality, including your own.
