Claudia loves being a nurse. Managing the adrenaline, controlling emotions, saving lives. At home everything is different: theres a room to clear out, and she needs to find a new roommate. Claudia is unable to deal with her cousin Sylvias recent suicide, even though she is doing a great job of hiding it from people. Everything around Claudia reminds her of Sylvia, but she is unable to cry. When an old acquaintance comes back into her life with an illness and in need of her support, she will finally be forced to confront the weight of loss.
