The protea flower symbolizes strength, resilience, and the power to survive practically anything.
Norah, a divorced, fatherless daughter, is living her best life despite her complicated family history. She has everything figured out, except how to find lasting love. She doesn’t trust easily because, in her experience, men leave. Then she meets Allen, and she lets her guard down. When he goes out of town indefinitely, she seeks help from a therapist who suggests a distraction to divert her attention from his absence.
She decides to create a digital scrapbook from her childhood photos. Norah’s father disappeared when she was thirteen and she has been left to wonder: Why did he leave? Where did he go?
While sorting through pictures, she flashes back to a ghoulish childhood memory of being forced to visit her father at Dammasch, a mental health facility.
Norah channels her energy into tracing her father’s steps. She turns to her family for answers, but they are reluctant to let go of long-held secrets. Norah refuses to give up, believing that finding the truth is the key to finding herself.
