A haunting documentary portrait of one woman's descent into mental illness and homelessness, told through her own fragmented testimony and the systemic failures that abandoned her.

Well-educated, New Hampshire mother, Linda Bishop, was determined to stay free of the mental health system after her early release from a 3 year commitment to New Hampshire State Hospital. Instead, she became a prisoner of her own mind, a fate which she documents in one of the most evocative and chilling accounts of mental illness and of our systemic failure to protect those suffering from it.
