When Julia decides to leave her job and move to the country to find herself as an artist, she doesn't realize her life is about to be toppled. Every time the paintbrush touches the canvas, she taps into lost memories and hidden truths carefully avoided for years; both her parents having dealt with serious mental issues, her fear of madness triggers old bottled up emotions as she realizes that denial is no longer an option. Her life becomes a Kafkaesque nightmare as her paintings - and her dreams - reflect her perilous state of mind. Jane, the sympathetic coffee shop owner who turns out to be a trained therapist, her childhood friend Dani - a happily unattached real estate agent, Stone - the good looking Art Store owner and Charles, her ex-boss infatuated with her, will all play a role in the unfolding drama. Will Julia be able to deal with the seeming devastation? As she drops all defense, will she be able to exist with the darkness as well as the light?
