Thirteen-year-old Alpha is a restless teenager living alone with her mother. In time her uncle, who is dying from a shattering virus, moves in with the family. Their fragile world begins to unravel as the disease not only ravishes the world; the tragedy of the death that surrounds Alpha makes way for her unfolding of family memory in visceral and poetic ways.
