A family drama set in the inspiring Florida landscape. About the secrets of the past, forgotten memories and the limitless power of parental love. Loni Mae lives in Washington and works as an illustrator: she draws birds at the Smithsonian Institution. Her mother's illness forces her to briefly return home to the wetlands of North Florida, the place where she grew up and where she always wanted to escape. Twenty-five years ago, her father died here. Some whispered about suicide, others about an accident. Loni still hasn’t admitted to herself how scary the truth can be, but now she decides to find it.
