Presence

Kelly, in crisis at the end of a long slow string of failed relationships, surprises her sister Elizabeth and friend Beau at his Dutchess County retreat as the pandemic takes hold.  They all hear a baby that cannot be, but only Kelly can see Nick (the sisters’ friend from years before) and Deb (Beau’s wife), both long dead, who have come to habitate with the three. Nick has arrived to make amends, and Deb has simply been in the way, until memory and events collide in reconciliation.  “Every love story is a ghost story.” -David Foster Wallace
