The story follows Jamie Rommen, a man suffering in silence with grief, loneliness, and depression. The loss of his family weighs on him heavily a year later; still reliving the events of their death, alone in the new world of COVID quarantine. He’s out of work. Bills are piling up. His life falling apart.

Jamie draws closer to the darkness with every passing day. One call can save him from himself, but like so many others, he's convinced he can get through it alone. He can't. The pressure pushes him over the edge toward the ultimate act of a person beyond help. Inches from the end, he suddenly finds he was never alone. From the other side, the ghostly form of his mother returns to pull him back from the brink.
