Genre: Psychological horror
Logline: A strained college student, on the verge of escaping her overbearing parents becomes twisted in a chain of events involving her previously institutionalized sister that threatens to expose her worst fear: her past.
Sydney Mitchell, the hopeful recipient of a prestigious award, is envied by all for her wardrobe and spotless life. But she is hiding a pregnancy and has been binging and purging every day. Claire, her oppressive mother is addicted to prescription anxiety pills and her constant questioning of husband Henry’s fidelity has led him to start drinking again. But the biggest family secret is Julia, Sydney’s estranged older sister who has just been released from a mental institution. When Julia’s return, shrouded in mystery and deceit, threatens to destroy everything she has worked to accomplish, Sydney has to come to terms with the fact that none of her family is who they seem to be.
