Inside These Walls

By Jennifer Marcantonio

Sometimes the hardest structures to build are the ones meant to protect the heart.

In the picturesque, snow-capped town of Riverdale, Arizona, Kevin Langley is a man living among ruins. Once a successful contractor with a beautiful wife and a bright future, Kevin's life was leveled by the sudden loss of his wife, Beth. In the wake of her death, the walls of his home have become a coffin and his relationship with his only son, Brian, has crumbled into a cycle of silence and resentment. But on a cold January day, a horrific accident on State Route 89 forces Kevin out of his grief. By pulling Martha Cabral and her three children from the twisted metal of their car, Kevin finds a spark of purpose he thought was extinguished forever.

As Kevin and Martha begin to weave their lives together, they find themselves fighting battles on two fronts. Brian is spiraling toward a prison sentence for a crime born of desperation and misplaced loyalty, while Martha is fleeing a tragic past in Mexico, living in constant fear of a world that is growing increasingly hostile. With the authorities closing in and his family facing total fracture, Kevin must decide how much he is willing to sacrifice to keep his new family safe.

A poignant exploration of grief, redemption, and the lengths we go to for love.
Inside These Walls asks: Can we ever truly protect those we love, or are some walls destined to fall?
