In the film, Kate plays Lindy, a beautiful and sardonically funny woman who experiences sporadic rage-filled, murderous impulses due to a rare neurological disorder. The only way she can be stopped from acting on her impulses is by shocking herself with a special electrode device.
The official synopsis reads: "Unable to find love and connection in a world that fears her bizarre condition, she finally trusts a man long enough to fall in love, only to find him murdered the next day. Heartbroken and enraged, she embarks on a revenge-filled mission to find his killer, while also being pursued by the police as the crime's prime suspect."

Opening up about her role to Entertainment Weekly, she said: "Lindy is a very flawed character, but also you root for her, because there is a wish-fulfillment side to the fact that she's got no inhibitions about her anger. There's a small scene where some guy is like, 'Cheer up, love,' and she just pushes his face into a wall. We've all had that urge!"
