In most bookstores you'll find innumerable books about communication, the power of language, manipulation through words. Yes, words can easily blind. But what happens when we realize, that words are no more than empty vessels? That they lack inherent depth and meaning? What does the limit of language mean for a relationship of two people? One of them full of thoughts and feelings, unable to convey them. The other one so vacant inside, and yet so rich with clever words. Language can make thoughts visible, audible. Language can be so meaningful, and still so meaningless. "It takes sonnets and poems to turn strangers into lovers. It takes a single word to turn lovers into strangers."

Mia might look like a Millennial but she was born yesterday. Emerging from a coma with short-term amnesia after an accident, Mia can’t remember her own name until the Siri assistant on her iPhone provides it. Based on her cool hairstyle (undercut with glamorous waves), dress (Prada), and signature lipstick (Chanel), she senses she’s wealthy, but the only way to know for sure is to retrace her steps once she leaves the hospital. Using Instagram and Uber, she arrives at the pink duplex she calls home in her posts but finds Max, a cute, off-duty postdoc supplementing his income with a house-sitting gig. He tells her the house belongs to JP, a billionaire with a chocolate empire. A few texts later, JP confirms her wildest dreams: they’re in love, Mia is living the good life, and he’ll be back that weekend. But as Mia and Max work backward through her Instagram and across Los Angeles to learn more about her, they discover an ugly truth behind her perfect Instagram feed, and evidence that her head wound was no accident. Did Mia have it coming? And if so, is it too late for her to rewrite her story?
