The story follows four siblings who return to their childhood home after years of emotional distance and unresolved conflict. Each of them carries a different relationship with June and a different kind of regret. As they reunite, old wounds resurface, and long-suppressed emotions begin to spill out through tense conversations and uncomfortable silences. The house itself feels like a character, filled with memories that refuse to stay buried.

As the days pass, the siblings are forced to confront not only June’s death but also their own personal failures. One struggles with guilt for leaving home too soon, another hides behind anger to mask deep sadness, while the others wrestle with loneliness and fear of repeating the past. Through shared meals, arguments, and moments of quiet reflection, the family slowly begins to understand how deeply June shaped their lives.
