Did She See You?

‘…knowing where the lies are is the greatest knowledge…’ A murder at an Irish hillside cottage. A mother shot by her mentally ill daughter, Mim. The girl’s stepfather, Denis, the only witness.

Mim starts talking fast. Her non-stop words are imagined random social media exchanges. Locked in a psychiatric unit, only Mim can reveal what her mother saw in her last moment alive.

Denis, struggling to make sense of his wife’s murder, is compelled to find out. On visits to Mim, he battles to break through her useless white noise by asking a single question over and over - Did She See You?

When a social media star seeks an introduction to Mim, Denis will not assist. But when a secret meeting is secured, the repeated question takes on chilling new meaning…

Did She See You? tells of a relentless search for answers along a blurred border between fantasy and reality. It is a story of long lies, concealed truths and the mighty persistence of heartbreak.
