Synopsis

Months after she suffered amnesia in an accident, Claire’s closest friend, Billie, takes her to an exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum of Art to try to help her spark a return of her memory. Baffled by Billie’s insistence regarding this set of “bad paintings”, Clare is ready to look and move on. However, what Billie reveals about them and Claire’s previous life comes as an unexpected surprise that Claire may not be ready to hear. Will Claire completely turn away from what she learns about herself? Or will a chance meeting with one of the artists of the exhibit bring her around?
