Sylvia Morton, a graphic artist at an LA design firm, develops mild depression and starts working from home. Her son Richard is away at school and her husband, Miles Harrison, an architect, is becoming distant. Fogged in by a pervasive ennui, she drifts through her life as if she were not part of it.

Sylvia’s tether to reality completely frays as she descends into an intensely morbid guilt about the accident. The deal she makes is not with the devil—it’s only in her mind—that if she just doesn’t have to remember the accident and re-experience the mayhem, she will renounce everything.
