Leo struggles with his new found homelessness and tries not to cry as he fills orders at Subway. Brought out of his sorrow by a compassionate voice from a customer, the two explore their troubled pasts and confess more than they ever have before.
Hilda wakes up from a close-call overdose of prescription narcotics to confront the inner nightmares that have followed her for years. On her first day of sobriety, she decides to offer her shoulder to cry for a young man lost in his own life.

A wise man once said, “One good thing about music, is when it hits you, you feel no pain.” That can be said for all things that reside in the arts. The purity of the artist, the vision, the sounds that plague the musicians head when lying awake at night. One cannot find a better example of artistry, than the imagination wielded by a child. If we’re lucky, they’ll grow up and bring those things to life for us.

Long road trips as a kid, trapped in the back seat, we’ve all been there. Staring out the window, imagining a world far more interesting than the painfully normal destinations in which we will arrive. We grow older, and far more curious. We venture forth out onto the open road in the middle of the night. There, in the transient nature of the unknown, we meet strangers that tell us of strange worlds we’ll never tread. What would happen, if you didn’t come across anyone in the middle of the night, on your travels? No one, not a single soul.
Our story begins with the turn of a key, an open road under a starry Texas night, and not a soul to be found.

Imagine waking up one day and realizing most of your life you’ve spent asleep. You went to school and pretended to be someone else. You graduated and went to college, and pretended to be someone else. You found someone, you married, and pretended to be someone else. You had a child, they grew, and you pretended to be someone else. Imagine one day, you wake up, and you can’t pretend anymore.
So many years we spend consumed by others, we can forget that we even exist in the first place. When true happiness escapes us entirely, what are we left with but a false sense of self wrapped up in personas. Life is not a fairytale but our story begins on top of a tower overlooking a kingdom made of falsehoods. Where everyone can be anyone, but rarely honest with themselves.

Love conquers all. That's not true. Love cannot conquer the space between youthful aspirations and aging resentment. Nor can love conquer the regret of a fearful heart, or the restless nights that find the listless poet scribbling yearnings for a love that has casually sauntered from their verse. Love cannot conquer the tempestuous nature of the open sea...or can it?

Your memory is an interesting thing. Some parts of your life, you hate to remember, and others, you hate to forget. Caught between the details of life’s biggest moments, there are the overlooked ones that one day, you’ll wish you had taken the time to note.
Though grim as it is, when you die, you get it all back. Not the wealth, or the status, but that one thing time steals from us all, but must yield to us when we run out of time.

It gets lonely being alive. It gets lonely being dead to. It’s three in the morning, and you can’t sleep. You don’t know why, but your mind won’t stop tormenting you with the doldrums of waking life and the daily routines. You slip out of bed and find yourself sitting quietly at the dinner table. As you let out a breath, you see something stir out of the corner of your eye. When you turn to see what it was, you’re greeted by the empty hallway that leads to the garage. You can’t shake the feeling that causes your hair to stand on end. If you ever found yourself needing company, you may not have realized it, but you were never alone in the first place.
