JunHee and her husband of six years, Tanner, did not want children, but a surprise pregnancy leaves them both elated. When JunHee miscarries, it is crushing. One night, JunHee's deceased mother comes to her in a dream: she stands outside the bedroom window and beckons to the baby girl, who jumps out and falls into her arms. When JunHee wakes up, the baby is gone. JunHee never tells Tanner or anyone else about the dream. Even her father, whom she calls for just the third time in the two years since her mother's death, is too callous and critical for her to open up. Faith is no help, either. Tanner, too, struggles to process the tragedy; he frequently resorts to rationalization, and accidents, including multiple car crashes and injuries at his mechanic shop, crop up at an alarming rate. The couple decides they need a break. One weekend, they drive to a state park in New England to hike up a mountain. They stop to see Tanner's sympathetic, kind mother along the way. The weather is threatening, but they decide to hike anyway. When JunHee and Tanner realize that they are lost near the peak with a thunderstorm brewing, Tanner gives up and JunHee erupts. She tells her husband that he has not processed the miscarriage with her but has instead withdrawn into pain, blame, and suffering. The couple wanders for hours as they discuss their relationship, and finally stumble into a way station for the night; they evade the storm and eventually reconcile. That night, fifteen years after she left Korea, JunHee finally finds closure — she speaks to her mother.
