The film is about Georgie Green (Walton) and her daughter Natasha (Byrnes, nominated for an AFI award) going to visit Georgie's mother, Lola (Thornton) who is dying of cancer. Thornton shaved her head for the role; and said that wearing a bald cap would be disrespectful to cancer patients. Natasha tries to find out the identity of her father and begins to have visions of a young friend of her mother who had disappeared 16 years before. With Georgie – a witch (Wicca) – and family tensions high, there are settling-in problems when Georgie and Natasha decide to stay for a while.
