A paranoid psychological thriller built on the tension between fragmented memory and dangerous knowledge, where a woman's amnesia becomes both her vulnerability and her only shield.

Bonnie Bedilia stars in this psychological thriller about a woman who witnesses a murder and then flees. During her escape, she has a car accident. She becomes an amnesia victim and although, she doesn't know her own identity, is able to describe the murder, but doesn't remember where it occurred or who was involved.
