At night, the woman sees her mother scattering teeth in her garden. Meanwhile, the woman suffers from cramps. The mother says it’s the teeth that her husband knocked out a long time ago, when the woman was young. Frustrated, the woman tells her to go back inside. The mother asks if they should have service for her husband, now deceased. The woman says hardly anyone will come and that neither she nor her brother wants to go. Later, at night, the woman goes back to the garden to find a golden tooth. She can’t find it.

In the morning, the woman sees her brother and his wife, along with their two kids, a three-year-old daughter and an eleven-week-old son. They haven’t seen each other for a while. Everyone exchanges pleasantries, and the mother comes down to greet her grandkids. The kids reluctantly hug her, and the two siblings talk in the kitchen. He asks her if she got her laparoscopy, but she says it’s too expensive. He mentions their father’s life insurance payment. However, the mother overhears it all and comes in, saying that the life insurance is only enough to pay for the two mortgages he took out. Outside, the brother’s daughter cries upon seeing flowers with teeth on them. When the mother comes out, saying brownies are done, her mouth has no teeth, making the brother’s daughter cry again. Later, the mother stomps out the flowers.

A long time ago, the mother tells the woman that the garden is what takes away her pain. Back then, the woman’s father lets her be, saying it’ll help. One day, the mother takes the woman out to the garden and tells her to put her used pad in it, as whatever she plants in it will bury her suffering. The mother says it’s something she learned from her own grandmother, and she used it to cope with having lost her four kids who died in birth. The woman simply walks away.

Now, at night, the woman removes her menstrual cup and pours it into the garden. In the morning, her cramps are gone. In the garden, she sees that the flowers are bigger. She plans to tell her mother about it later. Quietly, she tells them thank you. Later, she finds a notebook, a garden journal which her mother used to keep. Her brother flips through it and finds out that their father’s toes are buried there, which were severed from a lawnmower incident. After some arguing, they set the garden journal down, and the woman is glad he didn’t find out that a testicle was buried there. They go to the crematorium to get their father.

By evening, the woman is back at the garden while her brother and mother try to figure out what to do with her father’s ashes. She thinks about how, when she was young, she abandoned her family, during which they fought a lot. She thinks about how she left her brother alone back then. Now, at night, she is awoken by more arguing. She hears her brother and mother arguing about the ashes in the garden. The brother is holding it, preventing the mother from burying them in the garden. She successfully wrests the urn from him, and they argue some more. Eventually, the brother wrests it back, and the woman dives him, causing the ashes to get spilled into the garden. The mother then drenches them in water with a hose. Later, when they calm down, the woman and her brother wash the ashes off of each other.

Later, at night, the woman is outside, with a golf club, standing before the flowers which have grown bigger and bigger. She swings it at the flowers, causing them to explode. She pulls things out, but those things grab her back, pulling her in by its teeth. Quickly, her mother and brother come to her rescue and pull her out. Afterward, the mother tosses in a bucket of dangerous liquid to the garden. They reflect on their mistakes, and their grief.
