Following the sudden death of her seemingly perfect sister Olga in Chicago, eighteen-year-old Julia Reyes grapples with grief and her mother's suffocating expectations.

Eighteen-year-old Julia Reyes is left reeling when her older sister Olga is killed in a tragic bus accident in Chicago. As her grieving parents cling to Olga's memory as the ideal traditional Mexican daughter, Julia feels perpetually inadequate while struggling under her mother's strict household rules.

While attempting to process her own grief and depression, Julia uncovers hidden letters suggesting Olga harbored secret relationships. Investigating her sister's private life leads Julia to question family secrets while pursuing her own dream of moving away to become a writer.
