A deadpan, offbeat character study about two misfits—an amnesiac and a failed ex-nun—finding unexpected connection amid crime, confusion, and moral ambiguity.

A man wakes up in an alley, bleeding and with no memory of who he is. He stumbles into a coffee shop and is befriended by a charitable ex-nun who is failing in her attempts to write marketable pornography.
