While Lidia is at a bucolic artist’s residency, her brother Mo interrupts with a literal get outta jail ask… a callback to a weirdass game they used to play as kids. Damn, what is it about fucking siblings? Over the course of the next year, the whole world between two queer siblings is rendered raw with resentments, desperate confessions, dark humor, and devastating love. As each interaction compounds, can the love between them be strong enough to find new roots when toxic soil is all they’ve known? And will these two even survive apart?
