THE STORY
A famous actress disappears under mysterious circumstances at the peak of professional triumph. Thirty years later, she reemerges ready to tell her story. To assist with her glorious comeback, she summons a young film executive to her remote home on the coast of Maine. The film executive, profoundly transformed by the encounter, vows to shepherd the project forward.
But the women must fight a rising tide of resistance.
