Haunted by her past, struggling film photographer Jade travels from New York City to her hometown in the California desert to reunite with her first love Ryan, from whom she’s been estranged for over a decade, to restage a portrait of him. While the two reconnect at their local diner, reminiscing about the past and skimming the details of the present, Jade becomes overwhelmed by a slew of repressed memories. Once she takes the photo she’s come for, which just might be the skeleton key to moving on from her former life, Jade confronts Ryan about the sexual assault that ended their relationship, the psychological burden she’s carried with her, and the limits of forgiveness.
