After graduating college a semester late, Elijah James comes home without a clear next step. When his best friend lands him a long-term substitute teaching job, Elijah finds himself pulled toward something deeper than a paycheck and forced to reckon with the grief, distance, and unspoken history between him and his father Noah.
