About this Event

Synopsis:

When her father misses her spelling bee, 12-year-old Mara begins to suspect that something’s amiss. Anxious for answers, Mara interrogates her neighbor and demands answers from her family. She discovers her father’s been hospitalized then reasons her love is the only medicine he needs to get better. But when he's still not better, she's left questioning if her dad is the same man she knew.
