Her Requiem tells the story of Caitlin, a young woman who takes her senior year of high school off to compose a full-scale requiem. Inspired by her dedication, her father becomes obsessed with requiems and the people who love them, while her mother becomes concerned about Caitlin's isolation from everyone aside from her music teacher. They must confront the fact that their daughter's project is destroying their family.
