When Charlotte's mother dies after a brief and bitter battle with cancer, devastation is all that remains of Charlotte's life. Her mother, Margaret, while wanting desperately to help her daughter heal and move on, is helpless beyond the veil which now divides them. Charlotte must learn to live again, without the steadying force of her Mother, and ultimately learn to navigate her way independently. Fortunately for Charlotte and Margaret, Violet, Margaret's mother, takes a hand in helping her descendants to heal, continuing the eternal, spiralling dance of the ancestors around their family. Eventually, both Charlotte and Margaret reach their next, intended roles of existence, and the dance continues.
