On the cusp of her teenage years, 13-year-old Jessy Pola Geiger grapples with the fading memory of her father. As time passes, the once-vivid images of their shared moments blur and threaten to disappear, leaving her with a gnawing void.
Living in the quiet suburban home where her father once resided, Jessy finds herself surrounded by ghostly echoes of his presence.

She delves into old letters, hoping to find words that can bridge the distance between her past and present.
