When famous author VIVIAN (“VIV”) STEWART has difficulty ending her newest mystery novel, she decides to kill off the main character; however, an angry KATHRYN comes to life and tries to drive Viv to suicide. Knowing Viv’s deepest, darkest secrets, Kathryn uses the writer’s past against her. Struggling with guilt and grief, Viv slides further and further away from reality. As Viv spirals into darkness, her sister VANESSA (“NESSA”) STEWART arrives in order to assist in preparing the house for Viv’s 45th birthday with the help of a nurse (SARAI) and medical student (ALFONSO), both of whom are there to not only cook, but keep an eye on Viv.
