FILM OVERVIEW

This story depicts the journey of a troubled woman who is struggling to find meaning in her life after two suicide attempts. Taren Foley's experiences in a mental health facility are the focus of this true account. As she spends three days under observation, Taren gradually begins to accept the idea of living and moving forward, even though she is still grappling with her inner demons.
