After a series of mishaps ranging from being out of a job to losing her childhood home in a furnace explosion, Kassandra Acciari leaves her isolated, repressed life in northern Wisconsin behind on a whim to look for a lost Godspeed You, Black Emperor cassette tape in Moncton, New Brunswick. Triumph and disaster follow in equal measure as Kassandra tears down and rebuilds herself over and over again on her quest for something she swears is important to her, all while gaining (and losing) friends, insight, and a sense of purpose.
