Query of the Day

This one's so soapy I got bubbles in my eyes from reading it...


"GENRE: Drama

LOGLINE: A Chicago philosophy professor returns to the tiny art community of Taos, New Mexico, to fulfill her dying sister's last wish.

SYNOPSIS: An accident at a hot springs prompts philosophy professor Dawn Hill to return to the hippie art community of Taos, NM. Living in academic isolation in Chicago, Dawn is reluctant to reconnect with the family and memories she abandoned years ago. But when she discovers she is the legal guardian of her nephew, 15-year-old Cross, Dawn makes the journey.

Even from her comatose state, Dawn's sister Shanti seems to have the power to manipulate the lives of those around her: a son with cystic fibrosis, a lesbian Buddhist priest lover, and the man both sisters dated in high school. Dawn struggles to understand the sister she never knew, the angst of being an emo kid, and the unwanted love of a man she left years ago.

For 48 hours, Dawn and all of Shanti's eclectic friends must wait until a recipient for her lungs is found. But sometimes it takes a death in the family to knit a family back together. And in a colorful place like Taos, the healing takes on every possible manifestation under the sun."
