The respected and otherwise healthy Linguistics professor, Alice Howland, is a fifty-year-old mother of three, an accomplished scholar, and a tragic victim of early-onset Alzheimer's. Only after a deceptively innocent slip of the tongue, a short-term memory loss during a lecture, and a disorientation attack inside the campus will it become clear that Alice, indeed, is suffering from this hereditary disease. To make matters worse--as if things weren't bad enough--Alice slowly drowns inside her mind, knowing that, not only will she cease to recognise her beloved children, but she may also be the one who could pass the condition on them. Under those circumstances, as Alice's tragedy gradually unfolds, the rapid degeneration of the disease will steadily force the condemned mother to turn invisible, and almost disappear within her self. Will Alice find the strength to fight, when every moment counts?—Nick Riganas
