Christine Lucas is a middle aged woman who has lived with amnesia for over twenty years. Every morning, she wakes up believing she is young, only to realise that decades of her life are gone. She feels as if two versions of herself exist in the same body. While she is awake, she can retain information. Once she falls asleep, almost everything is erased. What remains are only fragments of her life before the accident.
Her husband Ben feels like a stranger, yet she is told every day that this is the man she has lived with for years. A neuropsychologist, Dr Nash, offers her a fragile sense of hope by encouraging her to document her memories in a journal. Each day, she secretly reads and rewrites it without Ben’s knowledge. The more she learns, the clearer it becomes that Ben does not want her to remember too much.
The journal becomes both her lifeline and her torment. It helps her piece together the truth while reminding her that everything will vanish again by morning. Still, she holds on to the hope of rebuilding a life worth living. When flashes of memory return like sudden visions, buried secrets begin to surface, leading to a revelation that shocked her and, honestly, shocked me too. 😅
