Feeling isolated and struggling to connect with her identity, Moth embarks on a road trip with a boy named Seth, who is dealing with his own family issues. As they travel together, they encounter vibrant landscapes and the memories that haunt them. Their shared experiences help Moth confront her pain and learn to embrace her heritage.
