SYNOPSIS
In a high-octane world of luxury nightlife, Amara is a glamorous bottle service girl drowning in a whirlwind of drugs, music and excess. Haunted by a traumatic past, she can’t escape; her attempts to numb the pain through indulgence only lead her deeper into chaos. Reliving her experiences while speaking to her therapist, she begins to reveal that ARAMA, her dark counterpart, has emerged. The ultimate escape from reality is becoming someone else. ARAMA takes over Amara’s body during her blackouts, getting revenge on Amara's behalf in the most unlawful ways. As the saying goes, “He who comes without discipline invites chaos.”
