SYNOPSIS

Thoughtful and introverted in comparison to her eight, high-spirited siblings, 12-year-old Maggie escapes her loneliness and the chaotic world of her family by entering the strangely beautiful world she sees through the viewfinder of her snap-n-shoot, plastic camera. However, she doesn't trust that what she sees is worthy of expressing, and as a result she never snaps a picture. While on a family road trip, Maggie is accidentally forgotten at a rundown gas station in the middle of nowhere where she meets a desert-worn and broken-hearted recluse named June. Proving more than just a passing influence, June teaches Maggie the importance of making her voice heard.
