Terminally Unique is a story centering around Marianne, an immigrant woman living with an alcoholic writer from an affluent family. Caught between genuine love and awful reality, Marianne begins the process of escape, only to be ensnared by the powerful mix of love and pity. Candidly examining the tragic moments where the strength of love is ultimately toppled by substance abuse, Terminally Unique provides a glimpse into the potentially endless cycles too many of us endure in codependent relationships.
