    Sam Cowell, an aspiring stand-up comedian and au pair struggling with PTSD, is deciding whether or not to join the search for Brooke, a missing teenage girl she used to nanny. The story exists between the present, where Sam tries to recover from her trauma and get back on stage, and the past, where memories of Brooke make it harder and harder to ignore the petulant teen’s sudden disappearance.
