We follow a young woman named Gia, as she pushes her way through a brand new journey of self-discovery when she is placed in therapy and is forced to face her inner child for the first time. Her world takes an unexpected turn when she suffers loss, and her mother, whom she has difficult relationship with, insists on help from a professional to address her underlying issues. Across 3 sessions in this purgatory-like office, Gia opens the door of her daunting past, reluctantly peeling back layers of her guarded self. Forced to step out of her comfort zone and confront her own shadows, she grapples with the vulnerability of facing her reflection. However, things begin to spiral when the harsh wounds of the past resurface and shake her up. Through a roller coaster of emotions, we are taken on a journey of the past that begs the question-- How will we define ourselves in the present?
