Rafaela Acuña y Daubón remembers everything that matters: her beautiful childhood in San Juan, her marriage to Peter, uprooting their children, Ruth & Benny, to the American Midwest, & losing all sense of her place in the world. So she tells no one when her memory begins to slip. Her daughter, in New York with a family of her own, wishes she could forget her muddy feelings about where she comes from - the same feelings which motivated her 22-year-old daughter Daisy to reconnect with their past. Daisy, who has momentarily forgotten everything, hears the word critical in a hospital room in San Juan & remembers, all at once, the car that hurtled towards her, the terrible storm, & something else. What was it? Now Ruth & Rafaela must return to the city where it all began, to gather by Daisy's bedside & confront the twists of fate that have caused a growing rift in their family & led them to this moment.
