Emotions come like a flood, and suddenly Ken—having moved back to the empty family home after years of bouncing through relationships and life in general—has a plan. But Ken is unprepared for Carol, the seemingly upright nurse who turns out to be a little more on the wild side than first appears. And as he learns more about Carol, and himself, and his sister’s past, he pokes determinedly at the smoldering coals of spirit that push us to hope and live and to make hurtful mistakes.
