In this intimate ten-minute family drama, Ben, a recent high school graduate struggling with depression and isolation, retreats to his father's basement where the only light comes from his laptop screen.

When his older sister calls to check on him, what begins as a simple conversation about his day quickly reveals deeper wounds: the recent loss of his beloved dog Maggie, mounting tensions with his recently divorced father, and the suffocating feeling of being left behind while his sisters have moved on to successful adult lives.

As Ben's pain spills out in the glow of his computer, his sisters rally around him in unexpected ways, leading to a surprising intervention that might just pull him back into the light.

This poignant piece explores themes of grief, family bonds, and the struggle to find purpose in the uncertain space between adolescence and adulthood.
