While dealing with the logistical arrangements of her father’s death Ellie has to confront what happens when the structures and safety nets we build for ourselves come undone.

The psychiatrist becomes twisted in Sarah's sordid plot to kill her husband for his large inheritance.

A post-apocalyptic 1980s vision of the future.
