Brief Synopsis

A writer sits; she touches pen to paper as we enter her mind and meet a young woman fearing love; a daughter seeking peace with her father; a guy facing the loss of a dear friend; an older woman finding herself in an unwilling affair, and the writer herself, remembering the silence of her childhood–all five characters fighting for freedom from grief, for release and relief. A wilful purging of what we left unsaid.
