When Marigold, Goldie, finds herself returning home for the burial of her favorite Uncle Yetis, she also finds herself confronted with many family issues and secrets that are resurrected upon her return. Will she be up to the test of facing these hidden family secrets in light of her own personal challenges? Can she handle the "authorities" who have always threatened her personal freedom, or should she accept her responsibility for the direction in which her life is moving? One thing she will have to admit is that there is no "fun at all" in funerals, and the event is definitely for the living, as Uncle Yetis said. She also learns most significantly that life is about the feeling of being happy, and no matter how many lies are told, the truth will eventually surface stronger than ever as she finds her golden hour as a self-rising flower.
