Now living alone she begins to organize her internal account of past relationships, while simultaneously preparing for a cross country move. Through uncomfortable and incredibly intimate dreams, Mare's younger self literally revisits past moments, piecing together the fragments that are responsible for how she moves through the world today. Mare begins her long journey to a totally unfamiliar landscape and is now open to the vast possibilities that ultimately open to those who search for more.
