Dina is an middle-aged stage actor and a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults). Haunted by a past humiliation, she tries to jump-start her failing on-camera career with a rebrand: Dina's agent orders her to solicit random passersby for first impressions of her. As she weathers the resulting IRL likes, comments and plain indifference, Dina's past and present collide. Her authorial CODA voice awakens.
