Playing the role of someone else and being in Edgar’s home with those who loved him stirs powerful and disorientating emotions in Starling.

Edgar’s loss has driven his sister, Aida, to seek solace in the arms of a series of men–but the meeting with Starling sparks a powerful and complex connection, fueled by their mutual longing for Edgar.

Meanwhile Clementine, also grieving for Edgar, has secrets of her own…
