What secrets lurk inside young Elizabeth's mind?
When journalist William seeks out Elizabeth - an acclaimed author - hoping to write her biography, the recluse grants him twenty-four hours to hear her story.
But William is not ready for what unfolds. While toggling the lines of insanity, Elizabeth tells the story of her darkness-filled past.
The more Elizabeth delves into her psyche, the more William witnesses the mental conditions Elizabeth has developed to cope with a life without love, protection, trust or therapy.
