Reconnecting with figures from her past and engaging in conversations with the crows in her garden, Clem spends the winter months nurturing her mothers peculiar vegetable patch. However, when her troubled brother Billy arrives, harboring concerns about the wellness brand he works for, Clem's tranquil existence begins to unravel. Then, she stumbles upon her mother's hidden laboratory, forever altering her course of life.
