A dark, psychologically disorienting thriller that uses multiple personality disorder and experimental treatment as a lens to explore identity, selfhood, and the terror of losing oneself.

Suki is a young woman confronting her destructive mental illness using "The Siamese Burn," an experimental machine designed to eliminate multiple personalities. The closer Suki comes to being "cured," she's haunted by a thought... what if the last unwanted identity turns out to be her?
