Anna is a young woman faced with many stressors. She is in a bad marriage to a man with substance abuse issues who is currently undergoing surgery. She has recently given birth to a baby girl, and is on leave from a job at a halfway house for challenged youth. When Danny, a young schizophrenic she has worked with, comes to see her in the hospital waiting room, she becomes alarmed. She alerts the staff at the house, but Danny goes missing. He is found dead, and it is determined that he most likely committed suicide. Anna and all those who were on varying levels responsible for his care, including his parents, must all come to terms with their guilt, their anger and their grief. They try to find balance in a way that Danny never could, but they are limited by all the ways that life defines us.
