Based on true events, "Dissociated Me" tells the story of a woman encouraged by a renowned film editor to turn her chaotic Beverly Hills past - including the death of her mother at 12, teenage addiction, and a stalker ex-best friend - into a script. When unprocessed trauma blocks every word, she becomes desperate to heal: casting actors to play her family and revisiting childhood homes for locations - all without a script. As the film unravels, so does she, into the path of a car going 35 miles per hour. She lets go of the story she thought she had to tell and reclaims her life.
