Maze, A

Synopsis:
there are two kinds of mazes: the kind where you try to get through and out the other side, and the kind where you try to get to the center. a teenage girl recreates her identity after eight years held captive in a suburban basement; a band remakes itself post-rehab and post-hit-song; a self-taught artist gains a cult following for his 15,000-page comic book.
