Behind the thin walls of a low-cost housing complex in the once bustling industrial centre of Vacca Vale, Indiana, residents search for meaning in their lives. An online obituary writer.
A young mother with a dark secret. A woman waging a solo campaign against rodents. And Blandine, who shares her flat with three teenage boys she neither likes nor understands, all, like her, now aged out of the state foster care system that has repeatedly failed them.
