The trip was supposed to be a fun escape from their everyday lives. Kit's best friend, feeling heartbroken after being dumped by his boyfriend, begs her to ditch her family responsibilities for a quick, idyllic weekend getaway. They plan to soak in hot springs, indulge in alcohol, and reminisce about their wild times. However, the getaway turns out to be a painful reminder of everything Kit has lost recently. She longs for her lost wildness, independence, and most painfully, her sister Julie, who passed away a few years ago.
Back home, Kit tries to maintain her routine of caring for her energetic young daughter. However, in the quiet corners of her mind, she indulges in fantasies about her former playground mom and reminisces about the band she used to perform with her sister. They would venture into the desert after shows, dropping acid and embracing the freedom of the night.
As Kit's grief resurfaces, she becomes increasingly distracted by everything that might take her mind off it. Her boundaries between reality and fantasy blur, and she starts to question whether Julie is truly gone. She spirals into a state of confusion and despair, unsure of how to navigate her emotions and find solace in the midst of her loss.
The trip was supposed to be a fun escape, but it ends up being a transformative journey that forces Kit to confront her past and embrace the complexities of her emotions. Through her struggles, she learns to find a balance between caring for her daughter and nurturing her own needs, and she begins to heal the wounds that have been holding her back for so long.
