Cade, a drifter with a broken wrist and a single duffel bag, walks into a rental office in a small river town.

Help From The Pod

"Even after passing, the mother has not dropped the infant’s corpse, carrying it where wherever she travels." In 2018, a whale carried her dead calf for 17 days, in what some sources labeled an "apparent" display of grief. This is a play about a small family with a display of grief that is much more than "apparent" at around the same time.
