Vine weed in shade

This vine weed shows up every late winter and chokes the bushes. It seems to prefer shady areas. I'm not sure if it's an annual or perennial. It shows up in the same places, but I don't know if it is coming back from the roots or if it just re-seeds.
By late summer it's dry and dead. It has a very distinctive leaf that has parallels veins with no visible main center vein. flowers are tiny, white and star shaped, no scent noticeable. They become these reddish berries that age to black and wrinkled.

Here you see it growing over a camellia. Now in June it's starting to go dormant.

No one has been able to ID it, and all my search attempts have been futile so far. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
