SCRIPT SYNOPSIS
A woman receives a telephone call from her long-lost brother—reconnecting with the central, though neglected, emotional anchor in her life. In the span of an 80-minute conversation, the two siblings test the strength of a deep, if challenged, love.

When T.C., a suburban mother of two, receives a call from Danny, her wayward brother, after a two-year communication lapse, she is tidying up her middle-class home in Portland, Oregon. T.C.’s and Danny’s phone conversation comprises the film’s single scene. As the camera tracks T.C. through her household rounds, she and Danny embark on a wide-ranging emotional journey; dialogue carries the story. Bittersweet childhood recollections merge into searching spiritual conjectures; bizarre anecdotes lead to offbeat cultural critiques and awkward personal confessions.
