A sapphic reimagining of the classic Frankenstein tale with a modern-day twist! Melanie Alcantara is good at her job. Perfect even. She's the best set of hands in the Cherry Hill, NJ area for sewing bodies back together and bringing them to life. Unfortunately, her Autistic intricacies stop at piecing corpses together like puzzle pieces when her 3-year relationship with her girlfriend, Tala, comes to an abrupt end. Unable to cope with losing the love of her life to another woman, we follow Melanie as she spirals into a deep pit of madness and denial. There is no telling what a woman who caters to the living dead will do.
