In the quiet, sun-drenched streets of New Orleans, a soldier named Lynsey, portrayed by Jennifer Lawrence, returns home after a traumatic brain injury sustained in Afghanistan. Struggling to piece together her memory and her life, she takes a job cleaning pools while navigating a strained relationship with her mother, all under the watchful eye of her dedicated therapist played by Stephen McKinley Henderson. Her fragile recovery finds an unexpected anchor in James, a local mechanic played by Brian Tyree Henry, who is grappling with his own profound physical and emotional scars. This intimate drama, directed by Lila Neugebauer, explores the tentative, healing bond that forms between these two wounded souls as they cautiously navigate their shared isolation. With a restrained and observant tone, the film becomes a poignant study of resilience, the search for connection, and the slow, often painful journey of rebuilding a sense of self when the foundation has been shattered.
