Her older brother Jake keeps his distance, and their traditional Arab father, Adam, remains oblivious to Lucy's spiraling mental state. When a violent schizophrenic episode derails Maria's birthday night, she escapes into sleep - and into a haunting dream. There, she uncovers a buried truth: she once had a twin sister, lost in the womb when Lucy attempted to abort both children. Remnant is a psychological thriller that unearths the quiet horrors of family secrets, mental illness, and identity.
