Haunted by the death of her mother by suicide, she has a strained relationship with her fisherman father and feels the absence of her brother and closest friend, both of whom have moved away. Equal parts lonely and bewildered, a lack of guidance has made her independent, determined, and vulnerable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eWhen Laura meets the older, more experienced Vivian Koller, the encounter sets in motion a series of events that will come to define her and her future.
