When the Song Left the Sea

Hector Martin and his young son have been abandoned by his much younger and troubled wife. His sister, with dutiful affection, assumes the role of surrogate mother, while her brother sits before an empty grave, 'celebrating' the 'death' of his wife. We come to our story with the tenderness of a father's "I love you" or a sad, confused and neglected child's first troubling questions. We learn that while most flee grief, others seek to transform it. But everyone has a story, and sometimes they overlap and collide.
