Up above there are wildfires, smog alerts, epic droughts, paper jams, teachers' strikes, insurrections, revolutions, record-breaking summers of unendurable heat, but down below, at the pool, it is always a comfortable eighty-one degrees.

The swimmers are unknown to one another except through their private routines (slow lane, medium lane, fast lane) and the solace each takes in their morning or afternoon laps in the local pool. Until one day a crack appears beneath its surface ... One of these swimmers is Alice, in whose memory cracks are also beginning to appear. Without the fellowship of other swimmers and the routine of her daily laps, she is plunged into dislocation and chaos, swept into memories of her childhood, the Japanese American incarceration camp in which she spent the war, and the child she lost.
As Alice clings to the tethers of her past, in a home she feels certain is not her home, her daughter must navigate the newly fractured landscape of their relationship.
