Carly is many things. But when she’s alone with her thoughts, she can only think of herself as one - a bad daughter. When her father died after a lifetime of rampant alcoholism and a debilitating cancer journey, she was more than happy to bury him, and his memory, in the deepest pits of her soul - along with the secret that was threatening to eat her alive. Much to her dismay, Carly finds herself at an Al-Anon meeting in an attempt to placate her mother. She hates every moment, but somehow, her life is fundamentally altered from the moment she steps out of that church basement. She has barely thought of her father for five years, and suddenly; she can’t seem to stop. His ghost, and some of her worst memories, are all around her. Over the course of a year, Carly grapples with her grief, and with herself; all the while desperate to prevent everyone she loves from somehow discovering the truth.
