Abigail grapples with feeling like an outsider, and for good reason - she claims she is from another galaxy, here only to study human behavior. After her behavior intensifies, her parents place her in a psychiatric facility for adolescents. Despite her best efforts to isolate herself, Abigail forms a connection with another patient which leads her on a journey of self-discovery. As Abigail begins to listen and share, she gains powerful insights about belonging and the complexities of being human. "Abigail, For Now" is a poignant and surprising exploration of mental health, identity, and the search for connection in a world that often feels unfamiliar.
