A mother’s crushing struggle for sanity while grappling with economic and social realities that seem stacked against her and and her youngest daughter’s science project growing marigolds from seeds that have been exposed to radiation, or “gamma rays' collide in an inevitable collusion of the mother's delusions and the daughter's reality. The daughter's resilience allows her to thrive even with a toxic home life, in a way similar to the marigolds in her science experiment, which survive radiation exposure and produce beautiful flowers.
