Story
Miriam Graves is coming apart at the seams.
Her years of disappointment and quiet desperation have made her life intolerable. The normal life she longed for has eluded her. Lonely and impoverished, she aimlessly wanders the streets of Los Angeles.
Her privileged sister, Sarah, lives the good life with a charming husband. She lives in an opulent house in a tony neighborhood, but burdened with having to deal with Miriam’s paranoid delusions.
As their relationship deteriorates, so goes what’s left of Miriam’s fragile sanity.
Miriam believes an angel of death is stalking her… and she may not be imagining it.
