What if, when you lost your memory and someone else took over your life? What would you do? Could you find your way back?
It's 1971. Bucking custom and convention, Southern Belle Emma Lee Dubois moves with her young son, David, to Pittsburgh, PA for a better life and job in the chemical factory. But when her boss, Leonard Baxter, propositions her, the job loses its luster. Before she can tell the authorities about his sexual harassment or the illegal dumping she's discovered, Emma Lee hits her head and is severely wounded. When she regains memory, she's unemployed, living in a home she doesn't recognize, and married ... to Leonard Baxter!
This multi-layered story is a provocative study of what makes self and how much control is too much. It asks questions about who we should trust, what we know, and how we help or hurt each other. Mostly, it's the story of one woman's search for who she is.
