Barrymore’s character is left unable to form new memories after a serious car accident and so her love interest, whom she meets after the near-fatal collision, has to win her heart with each new day.

Porphyria is one of the most devastating causes of short-term memory loss, and approximately one in every 10,000 people are affected by it.
