Synopsis

A young woman (Elisabeth Moss) has joined the relief effort to help New Orleans residents repair their lives after hurricane Katrina. A prosperous surgeon (Christopher Eccleston) also volunteers to work amidst the ruins of the Lower 9th Ward. But the doctor and the young woman share a troubled past. As they circle each other and reconnect, their story reflects the broken nature of the surrounding city – a beautiful, damaged place where sanity and selflessness are in short supply. With Christopher Eccleston, Elisabeth Moss.
