Synopsis: Summer in the near future. Harriet is haunted by memories that seem completely foreign to her.

Harriet doubts her sanity and embarks on a journey into her past. But at the same time, he seems to be unleashing something he can no longer control, and with each hidden memory that returns, he comes dangerously close to a dangerous truth...
