Description

Due to a rare brain tumour, Vera Garcia's soccer career is suddenly sidelined at the start of her senior year. When her single mother Eliza, terrified at the thought of losing her only daughter, clings too tightly, both Vera's identity and her freedom are in jeopardy.

They make it to St. Petersburg, Florida for surgery, just as Hurricane Phoenix's trajectory turns directly toward them. As it churns closer and closer, past and present collide in a whirlwind of love, betrayal, and illusion. Will they succumb to loss, or, like the phoenix, reinvent themselves, rewrite their stories, and rise anew?
