A young woman sees a new Chiropractor to relieve strange pervasive pains, that started after she returned from trip she just can not remember. As this Chiropractor prods, and pulls, her professional chatter turns to macabre poetry about bones, memory, and decay, in spite of the young woman’s distress. With each adjustment’s crack, her memories punch through the fog and she relives the fractured pieces of a terrifying abduction by a disturbed rideshare driver. She is jolted between the doctor’s painful manipulations and the flashes of the abductor’s invocations and groping torment of her helpless body. She becomes more and more panicked as the pieces are revealed until …she snaps.
