Reta Winters, 44 years of age, has started a new sort of life. She has discovered the meaning of loss for the first time. Reta’s peaceful and happy world is shattered when her eldest daughter drops out to sit on a street corner with a sign around her neck that says “GOODNESS.” Reta’s attempt to understand becomes a meditation on meaning and hope.
