Following the death of her partner, Vivienne, a celebrated dramatic soprano, suffers a highly publicised breakdown. Despite a seven years estrangement, Liv, her long suffering, and neglected daughter, invites the grieving and disgraced diva home to Australia to repair their fractured relationship. What follows is a brittle and haunting reunion, as mother and daughter are forced to interrogate the redemptive power of music, the sins of their past, and the limits to their love.
