In an ambiguous rural American town of the near future, a grandmother lives with her orphaned granddaughter. They live in a dangerous world, plagued with disease and climate change, that has left many people displaced and countless lives endangered. In her time, the grandmother was incredibly strong: she spent several hours at the gym each day and led several search and rescue missions in the mountains. Her adolescent granddaughter is not grown yet, and nowhere near as strong–a source of worry for the grandmother, who'd hoped her relatives would follow in her footsteps. Unfortunately, the granddaughter suffers from spells where she disappears into the mountains. Her grandmother is familiar with these spells and seeks her out. One day, she disappears and the grandmother comes, flying, to see her. The girl sees her grandma fall; panicked, she covers her grandma with dirt, assuming she died. People come looking for the grandmother, but the girl says she's not in. The girl is left alone, with the rabbits she likes to rescue, hoping that, one day, she'll be as strong as her grandmother.
