Set in the early seventies, Daisies From Ashes delves into the lives of residents in a tenement building. Archaic and brutal ethnic traditions clash with the values of modern society, resulting in tragedy.

The characters have formed a loyal, tightly-knit family. They share dreams, celebrate one another's milestones, fall in love and plan their futures. As lives become altered in unimaginable ways, Joyce, Sandra, and Olivia attempt to cope with their grave losses.
