Whole

After a blowout fight with her partner, a young woman takes to the road. She is a master at running away in the face of hard truths. She simply allows her internal facets to take the wheel. They guide her away from the pain through avoidance and numbing – anything to dodge dealing with her emotions head-on. But you can only run for so long before the voice of that exiled sorrow grows too loud to ignore.
