✦ Synopsis

"The collaborators should know what's coming. And the people should know that the collaborators will be punished. The police sure as hell won't do it." First they took her father. Then her mother, and fiancé. A punishment is overdue. After six years of brutal Occupation, the enemy has been defeated, and Kaiya is left to pick up the pieces of her broken life. Hearing rumours that those captured may be coming home, Kaiya enlists the help of an allied soldier to learn more. Soon she is swept up in a movement to purify her town of all those who collaborated with the enemy, alienating the few left who still care for her. But when Kaiya goes too far in her pursuit of vengeance, she is forced to confront the true cause of her anger and embark on a journey that will take her face to face with the horrors of the past. In a thought-provoking exploration of trauma's impact on the individual and society, Kaiya must learn to rebuild her life in a world she no longer deems worthy, while an alternative beckons - new technology that can wipe away all memory the past ever happened...
