An outlier rebels against a world reluctant to embrace her voice.  Liv (Catherine Eaton) has lived a life in silence on a remote island off the coast of Maine, where she’s been raised by her grandfather Lionel (Harris Yulin, Training Day). When Lionel discovers he will soon die, his concern for Liv’s future leads him to call upon a neurologist, his former protege, Michael (Teddy Sears, The Flash), in hopes he will protect Liv. But, when Michael overhears Liv break her silence--weaving her own language from Shakespeare’s words—he commits her to a psychiatric hospital.
