It’s been years since the death of one of her mothers, but Beth still languishes at her family home with her surviving mother Ruth. Her three siblings on the other hand have moved on and moved away. On the eve of Ruth’s sixtieth birthday and after a vivid dream, a vision entices Beth out onto the property, where she discovers a greenhouse that sends her into the past; where her mother Lillian is alive and a younger Beth is trying to deal with her own burgeoning sexuality. As her siblings and a past love return home, tempers flare and Beth’s retreats to the greenhouse are discovered.
But as the fractured family begins searching for what they’ve lost, an unexpected decision will change not just their past, but also their future.
