Maya and her best friend Cecilia are working in the memory transfer business. She hypnotizes customers and then downloads their memories using special machines. When a traumatic childhood catches up with her, she believes erasing those memories to be the only solution. But the process goes wrong and Maya wakes up with Cecilias childhood memories instead. The initial relief quickly gives way to confusion. Maya now sees her friend's mother as her own. When Maya is getting rejected by her, she realizes that only she can face her trauma.
