The life of a girl who was born in a village of workers who work in a mining camp. After her mother disappears without explanation, she has to learn to deal with the successive losses that life has in store for her. With the end of mining in the region, the place turns into a ghost town. With nowhere to go, she and her inseparable dog are the only ones who don't leave the place. When loneliness seems to have reached its peak, a dam burst decimates the village. The mud arrives and takes over everything. After losing all of her worlds, Kaylane insists on surviving and resisting. In dystopia, she tries to rediscover herself and find herself again.
