Onus

Five years ago, Fionnuala Walsh and Beau Durand connect through a subreddit about a shared, lonely secret they've kept for most of their lives.

Fionnuala has never managed to find another person in her situation after years of trying, and desperate to find someone with common ground, the two risk it all to meet in her city.

What seems reckless and illusory at first soon becomes a fully-forged codependence; a breakneck, profound relationship of which neither has experienced before.

But after a tragic event leaves Nola and Beau arguing over an obligation that could have prevented it, they flee to opposite sides of the world to forget and start over.

Three years later, Nola still can't forget, so she asks Beau to take a plane to her without expecting him to go through with it. But when he agrees, she realizes he will be infiltrating her new life and facing their unforgiving past.
