Often playing the role of caretaker to people like her father who should be caring for her, Lily Trevino longs for a familial connection, having been abandoned by her mother as a child and then suddenly by her father in her 20s.

Bob’s small acts of fatherly kindness fill a familial void in Lily’s life and hold the power to change her direction forever.
