I have extraordinary story ideas that will blow everyone’s mind, and what’s genuinely staggering is that I’ve finally stumbled onto a plot that feels refreshingly unclichéd, at least to me. I’ve been brainstorming with my alter egos, letting every fractured version of my imagination collide until something singular comes to light. I can’t say with absolute certainty that no one has ever tread this ground before, but the odds feel audaciously in my favor. I’m shooting my shot regardless.
Synopsis: Jennie is a grief counselor with an unusual condition: she experiences secondhand emotional memory - when she touches someone during a vulnerable moment, she briefly inhabits their strongest unresolved feeling. She keeps people at arm's length, wears gloves, lives quietly.
Then a girl named Lisa shows up at her practice - not as a patient, but to return her lost wallet. When their hands accidentally touch, she feels nothing. Absolute silence. For the first time in years, another person is just... a person.
And she becomes low-key obsessed with understanding why.
