Description

Katie Holmes and Luke Kirby star in this drama written and directed by Paul Dalio. Troubled poet Carla (Holmes), who suffers from bipolar disorder, checks herself into a psychiatric facility after showing up in the middle of the night in a psychotic state. After just one night she tries to get discharged claiming it was a mistake.

In group therapy she meets fellow poet Marco (Kirkby) who also suffers from bipolar. As the pair grow closer, bonding over their experiences with mental illness and their work, they become dependent on each other, despite warnings from outsiders. As their relationship develops they have to choose between love and recovery.
