A Lao American young man, James, brings his father’s ashes to Laos to fulfill his last wish – to return home. His mom keeps telling him to stay away from the relatives in a village to avoid being asked for money. He stays in a city until a stupa to house his father’s ashes is built. One day, Jame’s relative, Joi, travels to town to look for him. They have to travel together on the mighty Mekong and endure each other’s differences.
