Amireh, the headstrong matriarch of a British-Iranian family is given only months to live. With the assistance of an idealistic psychiatrist and newfound spirituality, she designs her own death ceremony involving the hallucinogenic drug DMT. Her traditional Persian husband, Sol, in denial of his wife’s fate, finds this screw-ball venture preposterous. A bitter quarrel results in Amireh leaving him. Days after, Sol reports his wife missing, seeking the help of his son Danny. The police locate a body, eyeing Sol as the perpetrator. The fragmented family is thrust on an offbeat spiritual journey, concluding in bitter-sweet reunion, celebrating life.
