To the outside observer, Vivian is a success story --- a dedicated lawyer who advocates for mentally ill patients at a New York City psychiatric hospital. Privately, Vivian contends with the memories and aftereffects of her bad childhood --- compounded by the everyday stresses of being a Black Latinx woman in America. She lives in a constant state of hypervigilant awareness that makes even a simple subway ride into a heart-pounding drama.

But after a family reunion prompts Vivian to take a bold step, she finds herself alone in new and terrifying ways, and she starts to unravel.
