The reality is different: Laura’s boyfriend has been using her ID, her credit card and her identity to gamble away her university savings. After suffering in silence for a long time she finally finds the courage to speak up and move through the trauma of her experience as an affected other. Laura's life is now back on track to taking her where she always wanted to go.
