Emily (played by Ali Dusinberre) is the granddaughter of Richard Vargas (played by Joe White), a grandfather she has never interacted with in her 24 years. Then a family tragedy reconnects them and sparks ignite as they interact and struggle with the present, while dealing with the past. Richard, a functioning alcoholic, spends his days drinking and taking care of his 15-year-old best friend, his black lab Robbie, when his life is interrupted by Emily who is struggling with a recent loss and dealing with her own battle with the bottle.
