Sophia is known for being the calm within the storm, but looks can be deceiving and some winds leave nothing untouched.
Widowed and estranged from family, Sophia escapes into the broken worlds of the young men she mentors to find purpose, hopeful they can build new lives, like she'd done with her own.
But death creates fissures in even the strongest lives. Sophia's father's death becomes a chip in the family windshield, splintering cracks through those left behind. Like the young people she works with, Sophia is forced to question all she believed about herself and her past.
