A deadly serious comedy about being alive.
Meet Sam—a restless dreamer, anxious doodler, and professional wanderer in search of purpose. When her law firm boss hands her a simple list of names and one chilling task—call them all and announce a client’s death—her mundane workday takes a bizarre turn. Curiosity pulls Sam into a mystery that’s equal parts darkly funny and unexpectedly heartfelt. Armed with only her notebook and razor-sharp wit, she chases clues that lead to something far deeper – and more personal – than she expected.

ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY PARTNER
Prevent Suicide Door County’s mission is to bring awareness to the county about suicide and the rising number of deaths by suicide in the county. They hold an annual walk to bring awareness and support those who have lost someone to suicide, hold an SOS Peer Group for peers who have either lost someone to suicide or are a survivor themselves, and offer QPR training (Question, Persuade, Refer) to the community upon request to educate individuals how to recognize when someone is in crisis and how to respond.
