Laya is a young professional photographer who has drifted away from her family. Her father has fallen ill, but she hasn't once come to visit him at the hospital--though she paid for his care there. Her mother, who left their family when Laya was a child, returns to urge Laya to make amends with her father, but Laya's pain goes deeper than her mother suspects. Laya is sent to the provinces to document a ritual of a disappearing indigenous tribe; while there, she inadvertently comes face-to-face with her own demons as she observes the relationships of the last remaining members of this dying culture.
