Monica left her Midwestern hometown to transition years ago and feels like a stranger returning. Her mother, Eugenia, banished her the moment she came out as trans and there has been no attempt at reconciliation. Now, Eugenia has dementia and is close to death. When the family reunites, Monica navigates her place, relearning life in small-town America.
