Carter Murrows takes a flying leap off a bridge.
On the way down, she relives the events in her life that have pushed her to that point, each memory an important stepping stone in her journey. Some are painful. Some are comforting. Some remind her of why she keeps fighting.
Fighting for others. Fighting for herself. Fighting for the truth. Fighting to find the pieces of herself that have been stolen along the way.
Will she be able to close her wounds and become whole again?
Does she even want to?

You have no right to come here and tell me that. You. Forgive. Me. You traumatized me. What you did to me tore me up inside and was eating away at me until I tried to kill myself. And when I told people they didn't believe me. I had to listen to so many people talk about how great a guy you were and how I clearly just regretted sleeping with you. You are a monster. You made me hate myself for something that was never my fault. You have caused me so much pain and suffering," I pause to take a deep breath.
