Rain can wash away what’s past. At least, that is what Katherine wants to believe. She has lost everything that she once held dear: her home, friends, family, and boyfriend. All she has left is a small suitcase full of memories and a lifetime of regret. She knows that, at least partially, their deaths are her fault. Sitting on a park bench getting soaked by the incoming storm, she contemplates her life decisions and how they have all lead to this moment. Is their no hope? Should she just be done with it all? Most importantly, who is this person trudging through the rain towards her?
