Best friends Laura and Alex travel across Europe, staying with strangers through couch surfing. One morning, Laura wakes up naked after spending the night with a man she cannot remember. As she struggles to explain what happened to her boyfriend, a deeper fear sets in that the night may not have been entirely consensual. Unable to find clear answers, Laura is forced to confront her memories, her relationships, and her own limits. What follows is a painful yet freeing journey as she begins to reclaim control over her body, choices, and sense of self.
