Logline
After a brutal assault leaves her with no memory and nowhere to go, a friendless woman relies on an attentive doctor with a troubling connection to her past.
Premise
Ginny Golden, now in her late twenties living in West Sussex, has alienated everyone through self-destructive behavior. Most recently Bernie, her last remaining friend. After a brutal attack leaves her with amnesia, Ginny wakes in hospital. She is attended by Dr. Ash Zhou, a secondary school acquaintance who seems genuinely concerned for her recovery. Homeless, friendless, and with only fragmented memories of that night, she soon learns Bernie has been murdered. Isolated and struggling with head trauma, Ginny has no one else. When the hospital discharges her, Ash makes an unexpected offer to stay at his flat until she is fully recovered.
