A neo-noir thriller built on mistaken identity and paranoia, where a woman on the run must navigate murder, deception, and double-crosses to survive.

Quebec native Claire Beaucage has a one-night stand with a photographer of some renown. Despite the language barrier between them, he invites her to visit him in Toronto. She shows up on his doorstep after an arson attack leaves her homeless, but soon finds herself caught up in a case of murder and mistaken identity.
