STELLA MARIS is a work-in-progress adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's final novel, a series of sessions between a prophetic mathematics prodigy and her prosaic but attentive psychologist.
Alicia Western checks herself into the Stella Maris Psychiatric Hospital in 1972 with nothing but a bag full of $40,000. Tortured by the memories of her atomic scientist parents, a brother adrift between consciousness and death, and a malevolent djinn who haunts her for entertainment, Alicia begins to rely on Dr. Cohen as a pillar of reality in her increasingly abstracted world.
