E X H A L E takes a look at just how much a life can fall apart after losing a loved one. Mara (Elly Bran) lives alone in her decaying home. She spends her days fighting off the taunting flashbacks of her once joyful life as well as the scarring memories of the death of her mother, Anna (Joanne McLellan) two years ago. While heavily abusing drugs and alcohol, she continues with her lonely life, locking herself away and remaining in the dark. As she falls apart further, she turns to her drug dealer Rick (Jay Ramji) to provide her with something to take away the pain.
