Ten years after a cult leader died deep in the mountains, her three sisters reunite to bury her ashes in the remote retreat where tragedy shattered their family. After Marigold died at Redwood Center. Her sisters dispersed; Claire to a new career and new family; Allison to solitude and bad habits on the East Coast; and Hayley back home to care for her increasingly infirm parents. Now, Claire claims she hears Marigold's whispers in her dreams, asking to have her ashes buried at Redwood. Hoping to finally put the family legacy to rest for good, the three sisters reunite for one last trip deep into the mountains, but there may be something more sinister in the woods than memories.

The cast includes Gracie Lee Brown, Kristy Glass, and Kelsey Petersen.
