A young woman (Arielle Friedman of "Unholy" & "Good Boy") consistently conjures the likeness of her ex-lover in her grief-addled home. Her building's maintenance worker (Mark Wallace) enters her life, offering the potential for a new relationship long before she has processed the former.

We made this film for anyone who has experienced a period of sturdy grief, especially as a result of sexual violence by a close partner.
