Having suffered from epilepsy since childhood, filmmaker Yasmin C. Rams tries against her family's wishes to find a new alternative treatment for her illness. From traditional Chinese medicine and medical marijuana to ayahuasca, she's determined to take control of her own destiny. Does she only put herself in the hands of supposed "quacks" who will only make things worse? Or does an individual interaction of conventional medicine and alternative methods succeed in the end, which promote recovery and well-being in equal measure? On her quest, she meets people from all over the world who tell her how they have found new ways to treat and manage their chronic illnesses.
