An Exceptionally Dark Comedy in Twelve Scenes

Anne’s husband David, a narcissistic, emotionally abusive immigration lawyer, is harboring Rafiq, a young Afghan refugee, in their cramped New York apartment. This fact alarms Anne's fiercely loyal childhood friend Savannah, a meddling, bigoted free spirit, who asks with dark suspicion, “Where will this refugee go? What will this refugee do?”.

Long exhausted from negotiating peace between her warring husband and friend, Anne has entered her own safe harbor -- heroin addiction. As she struggles with longing for family, nurture, peace, and safety, she finds an unexpected ally in the mysterious, sweet young stranger who sleeps on her sofa and prays in her living room.

When Anne watches David and Savannah finally come to blows and their deaths leave her alone and oddly at peace, “Where will she go? What will she do?”
