Their unlikely salvation appears in the person of Jack, a homeless and apparently mute drifter who wanders in, literally, from left field.
How it feels: Warm, earnest, uplifting and melancholic. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Found family, grief, healing, friendship
Content: Mild language. No violence, gore or sexual content.
