'Because the stories we tell ourselves about what we do and what happens to us - that's the only truth that matters. That's the only thing we do know.'
Mind: The Gap follows Murph and Niamh during the aftermath of a car crash which killed the driver, their friend Neil, after his drink was tampered with on a night out. Suffering with memory loss linked to the crash, Murph grapples with his potential responsibility for Neil's death, clashing with his internal monologue, Frank, who strongly believes Murph to be innocent.
However, on meeting Cait - a mysterious commuter with a hauntingly familiar background - Murph becomes mistrustful of both Frank and Niamh's versions of events. As the boundary between Murph's mind and the outside world becomes less certain, he must remember the story behind how Neil died - and perhaps more crucially, why - before the truth is rewritten for him.
