As you come to yourself, you gaze at a painting. You have no idea who painted it.
"How much does it cost?" the woman behind you asks. You have no clue about that either. In fact, you remember nothing since you escorted your daughter to school.
Pil suffers from dissociative identity disorder. Through intense glimpses into the daily life between her and her teenage daughter, the drama unfolds. It intensifies when an ominous man moves in next door. He reminds Pil of something deeply buried in her mind. Will he harm them? And how do you protect your child and be a good mother when memory fails, and you can't even trust yourself?
The players each embody distinct personalities, using metatechniques to control their shared body. They also collectively play the daughter, and the relationship between mother and daughter is the central core in the scenario. The personalities are aware of each other's existence, and their mutual resistance is a crucial driving force towards the ending, determined by the group.
