Sherry Zhang committed suicide in 1989. When she died, she left behind a baby daughter, a mysterious goodbye letter, and unbeknownst to her family, dozens of cassette tapes recording her innermost thoughts. Years later, Luisa, the child Sherry left behind, learns about these tapes and decides to finally get to know the mother she lost through her own words. But the more she listens, the more questions she has. Created and written by Kimberly Truong. Sound design, editing and mixing by Charles Moody. Music by Edith Mudge.
