Imagine waking up one day and not really knowing where you are, or even who you are. Flashes of familiarity haunt you as you attempt to decipher the world around you. This is Gina's (Kaylani Lei) world: foreign, oddly familiar, but far from normal. As she seeks the truth, her journey becomes more like a nightmare that continues to play out every day when she wakes up. Is it reality or just a bad dream that she'll come out of? Will the truth set her free, or is destiny better left unknown...?
