A weaver navigates between survival and her connection to the land while a mysterious rash grows on her body. While working as a cleaner, she becomes entranced by a mysterious painting and learns it is inspired by a Hawaiian creation story. As her rash worsens, she realizes her drinking water has been poisoned by fuel leaking into the island’s watersheds, and undergoes a major transformation.
