Six strangers are rehearsing a play designed to help recently bereaved people recover from their grief. However, they soon learn they are grieving the same person.

The director has intentionally gathered only those who knew his estranged daughter Mia, in an attempt to discover and reconstruct her life.

During rehearsals, as each member reckons with their own relationship with Mia and the existential struggles that come with grief, secrets begin to unravel and reveal everyone’s dark, hidden sides - as well as Mia’s own twisted and tragic life.
