After her mother abandoned the family when Lennie and Bailey were young, Lennie found comfort in her sister, her grandmother Gram, and her Uncle Big. However, Bailey’s sudden death from heart arrhythmia during a rehearsal for Romeo and Juliet leaves Lennie and her family devastated. Struggling to cope, Lennie begins leaving notes and poems around town, reflecting on conversations she once shared with Bailey, as she slowly works through her grief.
