At nineteen, Lily Hayes lives under the control of her possessive sister, Nora, who denies her money for treatment, coverage, and medical care as their relatives look away. Trapped in a damp, contaminated bedroom and left sick for far too long, Lily develops terminal lung cancer. She passes away with nobody beside her, forcing the family to confront the cruelty they ignored. Their remorse arrives only after the daughter they failed is gone forever.
