Gaby Winters is desperate. In order to pick up some extra cash, she has agreed to babysit a precocious and smart assed 16 year old girl. But while Gaby is supposedly watching her, the rebellious girl mysteriously vanishes. Urgently needing to find the defiant girl before the parents come home, Gaby embarks on a wild adventure which leads her on a seemingly endless search, encountering numerous bewildering, amusing and sometimes dangerous characters. We first meet Gaby being video recorded while she is recounting the story of her bizarre evening. As her tale becomes more and more embellished with myriad twisting subplots, it is impossible to determine what is true and what is a figment of Gaby’s fertile imagination. But one thing is clear: her story is one of total chaos and anarchy. Jennifer Morrison (TV’s House) gives an audacious performance as Gaby, a young woman who yearns for the trust she has so assiduously failed to earn. As her storytelling spins more and more out of control, Gaby seeks to find answers to not only a situation but also a world that seems to have too many questions. Director Kevin Palys has created an original and surprising tale that warns that many layers have to be uncovered before one can seize control of an out-of-control situation.

Quotes
Gabrielle Winters: You see this you little bitch? You see that? What is that? What is that? What are these? Scars. Scars! This one, right here's a scar from when a piece of glass cut right into me, inside me, it went right inside me, it cut inside me, right inside the baby!
Lucy Covner: Inside the baby? I don't buy that.
[Gaby slaps her face]
Lucy Covner: Ow! Owhowhow! My mom does that! Why would you do that?
[crying]
Gabrielle Winters: Wow, okay, you're being a bit much.
Lucy Covner: I am not! I am fucking out of here!
Gabrielle Winters: Wait can't you wait til tomorrow to go? I think your parents would enjoy watching you run away more that I would. No! It's your dad's room, that room! Don't lock the door, please; I can't see you when you're in there!
Gabrielle Winters: I lost the girl I was babysitting... technically, of course. But it doesn't really matter... I mean, fuck it, people lose their kids all the time, right?
Gabrielle Winters: If you want it told right... about me, the girl I lost that night... then the beginning's where I'll start.
Eddie Gator: You're getting my karate gi wet!
Eddie Gator: Bridget! This towel is weird!
Gabrielle Winters: You have to tell it in a certain way, so that it sounds right... so it sounds realistical.
Dr. Carter Kaufman: So Gabrielle, some people say you're insane.
Gabrielle Winters: I don't agree with people in theory, but yeah I'm insane. That's why I'm here.
Dr. Carter Kaufman: And you're here voluntarily?
Gabrielle Winters: Of course. I had no choice.
Gabrielle Winters: See... logicalistically I can tell from your eyes that you're lying. How does that make you and Jesus feel?
Gabrielle Winters: What happened to that big funeral? That would be fun to go to... you should go to that.
Wendy Covner: We went Gabrielle, we're done.
Gabrielle Winters: Don't be done. Have fun, go back.
Gabrielle Winters: You have a temperature of at least three or four hundred!
Wendy Covner: Open the door.
Lucy Covner: You're gonna hit me!
Wendy Covner: I am not gonna hit you; you sound like your father!
Lucy Covner: I just wanted to use your car for one minute to run an errand before Gaby got here, okay?
Wendy Covner: Please open the damn door. Really, I'm not going to hit you. Also, I didn't know you were into the "F" work; when did that happen?
