Summary: A woman arrives alone at a Best Western seeking respite in the California high desert to escape a cloud of sorrow - for both her father in the ICU and a husband whose illness is worsening. What the motel provides, however, is not peace but a path. Out on the sun-scorched trail, the woman encounters a towering cactus whose size and shape mean it should not exist in California - with a gash through its side that beckons like a familiar door. So she enters it. What awaits her inside this mystical succulent sets her on a journey at once desolate and rich, hilarious and poignant.
