An enigmatic phone call from a psychic catapults a family into a state of suspended belief while waiting for their deceased mother to be resurrected. One sister believes the claim, and the other opposes it until she encounters a chance at love, giving her hope that even resurrection is possible. A discordant struggle between sisters plays out in a world where the virtual and real converge.
"An unusual film, with a complex and layered aesthetic... grounded by a beautiful script in which the actors convincingly portray a very real and mournful time in their lives." (PopBytes)
“Leads Chloe Sevigny and Jena Malone should draw attention (…) but Blash’s quiet command of mood and mystique is an equal asset." (The Hollywood Reporter)
