Description
Ro's life has stalled. Her thirties have brought estrangement from her mother and a painful breakup with her boyfriend, who's left to pursue a mission to Mars. With her days spent at a menial job and nights consumed by drink, Ro feels lost. The only constant in her life is Dolores, a giant Pacific octopus that serves as a link to her father, a marine biologist who vanished on an expedition when she was a teenager. When Dolores is sold to a wealthy investor, Ro's world is turned upside down. As she struggles to come to terms with her childhood trauma and find her place in the world, Ro must confront the memories of her youth and recommit to those around her. With Dolores by her side, Ro has one last chance to break free from self-destruction and forge a new path. As Ro navigates this uncertain time, she's forced to wade through the complexities of her past and present. Will she find a way to heal and move forward, or will the weight of her memories consume her?
