"The essence of change is not the change itself, but the awareness that it has occurred."
gemma is an intimate portrayal of a woman fighting to stay relevant to herself.
“I feel like, sometimes, that I’m
two people. It’s a bitch.”
Since university days, Gemma has been haunted by an escalating and paralyzing shame, along with an acute unwillingness, a fear, to confront it.
Now, forty-four years old, married to a successful business executive and the mother of adult twins, the urgency to find the truths that govern her cannot be ignored any longer.
Events and needs conspire against her. She has no lasting legacy, no passion, and lives with a dwindling desire to do anything. Other men become attractive, an obsession.
She will, she knows, self-destruct.
To free herself from this lethal momentum requires no less than someone’s death.
Hers.
