Not yet 30, Lola controls her personal life with the same ruthless efficiency she uses to optimize profits in her job as a high-powered business consultant. No one knows about her older sister Conny or her family’s history of mental illness, but when a tragic event forces Conny back into Lola’s life and her secrets begin to unravel, Lola’s grip on reality begins to slip.
