- Amidst the gravity of a mental health crisis, laughter emerges as an unexpected medicine. Taren Foley, after surviving two suicide attempts, finds herself in a mental health facility.

Although she remains troubled, her journey sparks hope and unexpected joy, suggesting a brighter, albeit uncertain, future.
