​

French philosophy student Alice falls in love with a boy, Rabbit, at a masked ball in London, and takes him home. The next morning, Rabbit has disappeared, along with any indication that their night together ever occurred. Determined to find him, Alice sets out through a Brexit London that has turned very strange indeed, aided by the psychologist-cum-detective Dr. Cat Pillar as reality, nightmare and cinema blur into each other.
