While drunkenly stumbling home one night, siblings Sheila and David become inexplicably rooted to the earth. As knowledge about this mysterious event spreads, old and new relationships begin to form a utopian community around Sheila and David. The group wrestles with how to care for Sheila, David, and each other in the face of these extraordinary circumstances.
