Storyline
CAMILLE, a troubled young woman, is introduced to MAGGIE at a routine group therapy session. After expressing her distaste for the therapy meetings, Maggie asks Camille if she would like to meet her friends, PONY and VIOLET, and see what methods they have devised to work through their problems. Camille grows close to the group, delighted to finally have a group of friends to belong to. But when the cracks start to show and the group starts to fracture, Camille must make a difficult choice: turn a blind eye, or lose the only friends she has in the world.
