Eloise Esteban is a world renowned painter with a debilitating illness that never allows her to leave the confines of her home. She is content in this existence as she is cared for by her mentor and captor, Dr. Thomas. But recent events cause her to question the nature of her existence... Featuring stylized dialogue that walks a tightrope between satire and tragedy along with characters that are simultaneously heightened and heartfelt.
