Crystal is attached to her god by a red string. Throughout her life, she feels a tug. Something that says "don't go there, that's not a friend, take the long way home." One day, the tug stops. Her god abandons her. In the aftermath, she decides to conduct an experiment- a boy named Henry is abandoned by his mother in his infancy and born to believe that the skies are empty. Through a series of chance encounters, Henry and his mother get closer and closer to reuniting. Will the experiment give Crystal the answers she's looking for, or leave her more hopeless than when she started?
