Spoilers ahead
In New Orleans, Madison is overwhelmed by despair and teeters on the edge of suicide until she agrees to meet with Dr. Elizabeth Barnes, a clinician who records each patient interview on video. The sessions unfold like a fragile diary, and Madison gradually shares details about a life entangled in trauma she has kept tightly hidden.
During one interview, Madison confesses that there is “a little girl” she is not allowed to talk about, a presence she fears will provoke anger or harm from someone she cannot name. Dr. Barnes listens, but the identity of the person Madison fears remains unclear, leaving both the doctor and the viewer with a shadowy mystery at the center of her distress.
