a young age  Ai leaves Whitlam for college before her trauma has a chance to fully resolve. In
her second year of college Ai suffers a mental health crisis  driving her back home to Whitlam

together they are compelled to look back on the tragedy that shaped their adolescence and
examine the role they may have unwittingly played--
