Winner, Best Feature Film at the 2018 Sonoma Int FF, the 2018 Culver City FF and 2019 Beaufort Int FF. A grief-stricken woman befriends a Marine veteran with PTSD, and their relationship leads them towards potentially tragic consequences.

Charlotte and her husband John are packing in preparation for a trip to the beach with their son Ricky. Shortly after driving away from their farm, their car is struck in a head on collision and, tragically, only Charlotte survives. Isolated on her farm Charlotte slowly becomes swallowed up in an overwhelming morass of anguish and grief. One night she encounters an injured man, Nick, on her property. An unexpected and unique bond develops between the two. Charlotte asks Nick to stay on to work the farm with her temporarily, telling him that her husband and child 'are away on a trip'. Nick, a Marine combat veteran, is trying to hide some serious issues of his own, among other things. He quickly butts heads with her family friend and lawyer, Paul, a powerful man in town with ties to the local police. Protective of Charlotte, Paul grows suspicious of Nick's intentions. An altercation ensues between the two men. Paul threatens the Marine causing Nick's PTSD to ignite. Charlotte sides with Nick as her relationship with Nick deepens in intensity. Growing more paranoid, Nick tightens his efforts to protect them both as his mental state winds violently out of control. Lost in a dark rabbit hole, Charlotte represses serious warning signs of Nick's behavior as she desperately hangs on to a relationship that could either save or destroy them.—knoblock, christopher
