Summaries

Storyline

Ethan sees a shrink as part of his parole. He's legal guardian and shares his apartment with his 16 y.o. sister, Mia, who keeps bad company. She does drugs and drops out of school. Ethan works as a rideshare driver at night. When Ethan unjustly gets bad reviews from passengers, he's out of a job. Mia and her boyfriend owe money to dangerous criminals. Ethan helps with her half of the debt, but she's not out of trouble. — Scott Filtenborg
