After waking up in a psychiatric ward in the US, Noella had to quit film school and return to Kenya. She'd been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, something both her family and herself had no idea how to deal with. She decides to turn the camera on them and herself as they try to navigate this unknown, with varying results. She then decides to seek out a community, where she meets Nick. Nick was diagnosed with Schizophrenia while studying to be a priest in Colombia. Her decision to film Nick launches her into another world, especially when Nick disappears. Noella has to go try to help his family to find him. This also affects her, especially after her mother becomes unwell; Noella finds herself amidst a storm. How does she survive this?
