In Homesickness, A quiet night in a local pub is |
|
shattered by the arrival of a sword-wielding fugitive; a |
|
funeral party teeters on the edge of this world and the |
|
next, as ghosts simply won't lay in wake; a shooting sees |
|
a veteran policewoman confront the banality of her own |
|
existence; and an aspiring writer grapples with his |
|
father's cancer diagnosis and in his despair wreaks havoc |
|
on his mentor's life. |
|
|
|
