When her brother Liam’s best friend, Evan, arrives to give Liam’s journal to Stef, they begin a relationship. However, when Stef and Evan start to unpack their shared trauma, they question if their relationship can ever break free from its confines?

Life is interrupted the day that the affable Gage, a beloved railroad worker suffers an explosion that plunges a tamping rod weighing over 13 pounds through his skull.
