Blaming herself when the cousin she dragged onto a roller coaster falls into a coma, Nora struggles with unendurable guilt and tries to help when her cousin awakens with challenging disabilities. Nora's looking forward to riding the Cyclone, the world famous Coney Island rollercoaster, and drags her cousin Riley on the ride despite her heart condition. After they disembark, Riley falls to the ground... and doesn't get up. When Riley comes out of her coma, she can't talk, can't even go to the bathroom by herself. Guilt stricken, Nora is determined to get Riley 100% back to normal. What Nora doesn't realize is that the guilt will only get worse as that percentage rises.
