Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

A woman who dealt with her family problems by running away returns home to Los Angeles from Southeast Asia to pick up a package intended for her late, drug-addicted mother. It's been three years since Emmie fled the country; after receiving a letter from her mother's friend Ricky, she decides it's time to go home. Eventually ending up at the cheap hotel her mother called home, Emmie discovers that her sister, Eve, has been deeply shaken by the loss. The two sisters haven't spoken since Emmie left town, and Eve stayed back to care for their mother. In their quest to locate the missing package, Emmie and Eve encounter a collection of unsavory characters while realizing the true importance of family.
