Imprint follows Flora, a determined mother desperate to secure an advantage for her nine-year-old daughter, Ariel, in a cutthroat world. She purchases expertise from Han, an immigrant compelled to trade her hard-earned knowledge for legal status. But as the transfer progresses, it spirals into a living nightmare. What seeps into Ariel’s mind is not just skill—it carries the weight of Han’s struggles and the torment she endured to acquire that knowledge. Flora soon finds herself grappling with the deep, dark price of such progress, haunted by ghosts of suffering she never expected to confront.
