Additionally, the trailer promises that the story is more than a sketch of nostalgia and the quest to find Rachel's mother, Noel, as it will also deal with other complex issues. As the characters deal with the ghosts of their past, collecting scraps of information on Noel, the two leads forge their own paths by sharing a common present together.
