In a small prairie town where the landscape is both beautiful and isolating, we meet an artist, a caregiver, and a dying woman, each bonded by their parallel struggles with fulfillment and the inconsistencies of human connection. Confined to monotony and caring for her mother, Sally enlists the curative elements of her art to ease a growing sense of guilt.

An elderly Mary, meanwhile, grapples with a loss of independence and the ghosts of meaningful conversations. Her unmarried caregiver, Beth, reconciles the emptiness of a home without children with the possibilities ahead of her, and a renewed connection with Sally.
