Getting over your mother's death is hard enough on its own, even much so when:
a) You're very much aware that it has actually been a murder.
b) All the evidence undoubtedly points in your direction, meaning her blood is on your hands.
All Aries knows is that she's lost a whole lot of time and she may or may not have killed her own mother in the process. When she wakes up to find herself hovering over her mom's lifeless body, she is left to question the events that took place during her blackout, along with her sanity.
Now she'll have to juggle being a fugitive in the eyes of the law while also trying to unveil the mystery that is her mother's death and, what's arguably worse - she'll have to face her true self.
Is she really capable of going through with something so twisted?
Has she really gone mad?
