On the eve of her late son’s birthday, LILA attends a group meeting for people addicted to Amesten, a new black market drug that gives its users life-like dreams about the ones they've lost. Although the drug has exacted a terrible toll on her, her sobriety still only hangs by a thread. As she prepares to celebrate BODIE’s birthday with her brother KIERAN, the temptation to see Bodie again begins to overwhelm her and she must choose whether to finally let go of an impossible dream or follow the light of her life into darkness.
