Plot Summary:Earphones plugged in and a hand in cast, a girl travels alone in Toronto's commuting crowds, absorbed in her own thoughts. When the sudden death of her mother leaves Jessica in the custody of a stranger -- an excommunicated father a long plane journey away -- she must overcome her grief and make the decision of having a distant family or having no one at all. An amicable first meeting ensues, followed by a trip to Hong Kong, a city she never gets to understand, and finds the answer to a long-held question.
