After years of disruptive, long-distance phone calls, Liesel rings to tell Joel that she is letting Idzia, the 17-year-old daughter he has never met, visit for the summer. Daniella and Joel prepare for Idzia’s arrival, but when Joel goes to pick her up from the airport, Idzia isn’t there. Back at home, the phone calls suddenly stop,and Joel and Daniella become haunted by the absence of someone who was never part of their life to begin with.
