SYNOPSIS:
A gas station attendant joins a “past life regression” support group to take control of her life. But as she looks inward, her group-mates transform into the people and feelings that have hurt her the most, unraveling a thread of new relationships that force her to confront her deepest darkness. Strangers become sisters become lovers become straight men who become gay men who become straight men again—all under the group leader’s promise for ultimate enlightenment. Confabulation intertwines past lives and future fears into a startling current tale of finding yourself amidst the chaos.
