NOTES

After a traumatic assault in Central America, Rachel returns home, but it isn't the reprieve she expected. She comes back to turmoil between her parents, and a part-time job in her dad's medical office. Her father, George, full of endearing blunder, tries unsuccessfully to connect with his daughter, who seems to be reeling. Her childhood friend Khalil isn't around to provide support. He's in Afghanistan travelling and volunteering when he is wrongfully arrested. On the periphery is Wally-off work because of a logging injury-who spends a great deal of time in George's office. Wally struggles to buy food for his dog Lucky, his rent payments are overdue, and the ringing in his ears just won't stop. He's looking for help in all the right places, but nobody seems to notice he's deteriorating until it's too late
