After confessing to her Spiritual Mother that she is attracted to a woman, Jasmine, a spiritual Baptist is urged to mourn and seek spiritual guidance on the conflict she faces. The film follows Jasmine over the course of a day as she makes preparations to undergo the mourning ritual. Believing that she must choose between her spirituality and her sexuality, she attempts to suppress her desires by rejecting the woman she loves. That evening during the ritual, Jasmine experiences a spiritual journey that brings her closer to the answers she is seeking.
