A disorienting psychological mystery set in Spain that uses fragmented memory and sensual atmosphere to explore guilt, desire, and the unreliability of consciousness.

American Claire wakes up blood-soaked and bruised at the end of a runway in Spain. As she tries to account for her state, she has flashbacks from the past few days. She thinks she's killed someone, but isn't sure, and now she's wandering the Spanish streets without money or a clear memory.
