After many years, cousins Chael and Ronia are catching up and reminiscing the past. As the memories come, Ronia becomes angry at the many painful things she's witnessed such as: suicides, friends' families destroyed by drugs and unfaithfulness, and children murdered. She can't reconcile these events with her faith, so she looks to Chael for answers.
Chael must find an answer to her unexpected questions to save her from this hopelessness, or Ronia will be another casualty of a broken world.
