A loss that leads to difficult truths

After a hit-and-run kills his brother, Jesse is left grappling with survivor’s guilt and complicated feelings for his brother’s girlfriend, Chloe. Their effort to identify the drunk driver gives the story a clear investigative thread, while the search also brings other troubling discoveries into view. The premise links grief and family loss with substance-impaired driving, guilt, and the tensions that arise between people bound by the same tragedy.
