A young, vital woman is diagnosed with cancer, and after a prolonged battle that leaves her with a number of unresolved issues and an inability to accept her own mortality, her body passes. Her spirit, however, has other ideas. For over a year, she clings to this mortal plane, hanging on tight to the sister she loves, invading her room at night and refusing to move on. Release me is the true story of that sister's experiences: her childhood and family relationships, the bond she shared with her sister, both before and during her illness, and the confusing and conflicting time spent in her sister's company after her passing. Seeking knowledge and guidance in her late father's example, and from the books he left in her care, she struggles to come to grips with what needs to be done, for her own spiritual growth and for that of her beloved sister.
