Twenty-five-year-old Veera is trying to solve her childhood trauma through LARP (Live Action Role-Playing).

Haunted by childhood traumas, Veera is trying to become more independent through live roleplaying (LARP). As she guides herself and her mentally-challenged brother through worlds of multiple roles and identities, witches and wizards, she finds the courage to face the demons of her own past and her abusive father's legacy.
