Four friends find themselves with varying gifts in extra-sensory perception. They face the struggles of being young adults with very secret and powerful abilities that they cannot tell anyone.

Unable to remember a violent incident, a young woman, Iona, returns to a place of magic and love to look for answers. Through interracial relationships and the healing potential of a talking circle, the film explores violence in young relationships and the moment of choice we face when the urge to be violent surfaces.

The confrontation, filmed in split screen, is less an actual case study than a metaphorical story, based on the filmmaker's personal experience of being looked at as the 'other' because they lives and performs outside the binary gender norm.
