Jack Pennimen’s life may as well have ended when he was 10 years old. That was the summer his little sister Lucy had the boating accident that killed her. His family has never confronted her death – his parents move through live in a vacuum and his self obsessed older sister is an emotional wreck herself. No one ever helped Jack come to terms with the fact that he was with Lucy at the end… that he carries the burden of the tragedy. Now an adult an still wracked by guilt, Jack moves to New York’s Chinatown. To his friends and ex fiancee he seems to be spiraling out of control. He can’t hold down a job, and the former tennis star now ever picks up a racquet. As his mental state continues to deteriorate into psychosis he imagines a little girl standing close by him in his apartment, in the street, in restaurants. His erratic behavior concerns neighbors – has he done something? Alone and isolated Jack obsessed over the dead Lucy – constantly writing her letters and imagining her presence; but his mind starts intertwining recurring images of the missing girl – does Jack know what happened to her? Pressure on Jack threatens to boil over as misguided friends track him down and try to stage an intervention. Fleeing his apartment Jack finds his mind increasingly muddled and he is unable to differentiate between what’s real and what’s imagined. Before he can move on, Jack will be forced to face his demons and the painful secrets buried in his past.
