Waking up for disturbing visions involving a mystic dancing on a rooftop, uninspired writer Dua Tariq is troubled. She tries to seek clarity and inspiration through a hesitant meeting with her spiritual dance teacher and through a day around town realizing that the noise and chaos are forcing her true self to retreat deeper within. Dua has to learn how to let go of the facade she is being forced to create in order to access her true self again and to turn her vision into creative expression.
