"There are people who break open and make a new, bigger, self. But
some of us are ... brittle." When stress causes an old trauma to
surface, Lucy, a longtime community organizer, teacher and
anti-poverty activist, loses control of her life. On probation and
living on the streets of Halifax's North End, all she has left is
friends. Faithful friends like Judith, her lawyer, who is helping
her take back her life. Lucy begins to regularly sneak into
Judith's basement to take refuge from the cold, but Lucy's presence
in the house betrays their friendship, and she uncovers mysteries
from Judith's past. As events draw their lives closer, Lucy and
Judith are forced to face the toll taken by their secrets. Each of
them must choose between confronting past pain or remaining broken.
