Synopsis by Olivia Cantor
Holly (Azura Skye), a suburban teacher, appears to have a humdrum life as she tends to her disrespectful children and career-driven husband. Her seemingly detached treatment of her household is borne out of balancing two things that have been debilitating her existence: her battle with insomnia and keeping a dark secret about a past crime. She takes medication to ease her anxiety and control her condition, but they seem to be contributing to her slow-burning downward spiral. Directed by Dean Kapsalis in his feature film debut.
