Sisters, Billie, Ava, and Scarlet are at their first therapy session. They have a lot to talk about, like the time when Billie took off unexpectedly, leaving behind a disastrous apartment and a mysterious note. There is a history. A play about the stigma of mental illness and the bonds of sisterhood.
