Inside their used to be family home before their parents got divorced and the sisters got separated, Naomi receives a text message from her father instructing her to begin the year's scavenger hunt; her sisters are hesitant at first but are eventually persuaded to participate before Naomi has to leave again. Naomi struggles throughout the film to complete this scavenger hunt, but she is constantly aided by her sisters. There is another plane of psychological existence in the middle of the story where we have an anonymous figure who is a metaphor for Naomi as she strives to discover her independence. In the end, she solves the final puzzle on her own and thus completes the scavenger hunt on her own; by doing so, she is able to break free from the shadow of always needing her sister's assistance and discovers her own independence.
