A tender, introspective portrait of an elderly woman's yearning to reclaim her past before time runs out, built on memory, confinement, and the search for home.

Carrie Watts is living the twilight of her life trapped in an apartment in 1940s Houston, Texas with a controlling daughter-in-law and a hen-pecked son. Her fondest wish – just once before she dies – is to revisit Bountiful, the small Texas town of her youth which she still refers to as "home."
