After witnessing a bizarre, traumatic incident involving a patient, Dr. Rose Cotter starts experiencing frightening occurrences that she can't explain.

This was originally meant to be a futuristic, apocalyptic story about a woman who becomes a mail order bride to escape from prosecution for having a life-saving surgery. Unfortunately, women are being prosecuted NOW under misogynistic laws, simply for trying to access life-saving reproductive care. In this short film, Tim picks up his mail order bride, Briana, and takes her to his cabin in the Canadian woods. Things do not go well, however, and she escapes. She runs to the nearest place of business seeking help and fortunately meets someone who helps her find a new purpose in life.
