In the trembling calm before an earthquake, two very different women cross paths. Rae, a young mother-to-be, clings to the volatile man she loves. Lila, a hardened fortune-teller, has buried the grief of losing her own child. As their lives collide, they'll make desperate bids to reclaim their fates—and learn that the most powerful futures are the ones we forge together.
