“Can't have a future until you shine a light on the past.”
Douglas Privett is a young musician who returns to the small mid-western town of his childhood to see Ezrela Mae Privett, the ailing grandmother who'd raised him, a Baptist preacher battling demons of her own. Despite childhood memories of emotional trauma, Douglas agrees to stay in town and help her with therapy. Douglas searches for Cal, his only childhood friend and secret crush, but only finds Cal's younger sister, Jaylene. While staring at a starry night sky, Douglas recalls a positive memory o his grandmother and has a chance encounter with Dora, a wise homeless woman.
