Thea, a young woman crippled by guilt, flees to Central America to escape her life.
In Guatemala, she meets the charismatic Chris and his partner, Sarah, and the three of them form a tight bond. But everything changes when a tragedy occurs.
Thea soon finds herself in a new relationship, bonded to her partner by grief.
