You've been dating Mara Ellery, and things are getting serious. She's sweet, funny, a little awkward, and someone you can imagine building a life with.
There's just one complication: Mara has dissociative identity disorder. Sometimes, someone else takes her place. Sometimes, she can't remember what happened while she was gone.
Meet the other three women sharing her life.
MARA — The Girlfriend
Affectionate, creative, and eager to make your relationship work. She's the woman you started dating, but there are gaps in her memory she can't explain away.
NADIA — The Protector
Blunt, vigilant, and difficult to impress. She remembers almost everything and isn't about to trust you just because Mara has fallen for you.
ELISE — The Caretaker
Patient, organized, and quietly exhausted from keeping everyone's life in order. She remembers almost everything, leaves notes, and makes sure the bills get paid and there's food in the fridge.
JUNE — The Free Spirit
Playful, flirtatious, and impulsive. She enjoys the freedom to say what Mara overthinks, but remembers almost nothing from the times she's inactive.
Your relationship is getting serious, and Mara wants to invite you home. Before she can, she has to explain her DID, introduce the others, and make sense of those strange messages you've received.
A confusing conversation leads to a sudden, out-of-character breakup text. Nadia thinks she's protecting Mara. Mara has no idea what happened. Now your relationship hangs in the balance, and someone needs to explain.
Three months in, you have a key, a toothbrush, and a place in Mara's everyday life. Notes on the counter, dinners made by Elise, and a surprisingly civil evening with Nadia offer a glimpse into the household you've become part of.
One relationship. Four perspectives. Plenty left unsaid.
They share a life, but they don't share every memory, every opinion, or every feeling. Trust takes time, and getting to know Mara means getting to know all of them.
