She's battered and bruised and wearing some slutty outfit from a modelling gig that she can't remember. Psychiatrist Natalie Rosenberg helps Elise to unlock her psychosis, where she blocks out traumatic events. Tall and blond, Elise has been getting acting and modelling work, but has become addicted to hard drugs, and turned to prostitution. Her life has lurched from drama to tragedy, this time she has car-jacked a stranger. Doctor Rosenberg helps Elise by digging up her medical records, but only Elise can remember her tragic past. There's a hot guy at group therapy who might be able to help. Elise remembers she's been involved in stealing a cocaine shipment, disguised as a modelling job. She's got a chance to set herself up with her own production company, to pursue her Glastonbury dream. Outside the hospital, she's got to do just one bad thing, but she's being chased by the Video Pimp, the Hairdresser, and now there's Covid restrictions and bad hair. It's almost too much. Elise follows the steps of Narcotics Anonymous, reaches out to friends, apologises for her wrong-doings, and tracks down Skye, the brother she now remembers. Skye reveals to Elise the final secret she has been blocking out.
