About the Film
A mystery built around memory, consequence, and the uncertainty of what came before.
John Ridley wakes with no memory and a corpse beside him. With no clear understanding of how he arrived there, he is forced to piece together the circumstances surrounding the body and confront the possibility that the answer may be closer than he wants to believe.
