And Now You Can Go

A gun is pointed at 21-year-old Ellis as she walks through a New York park. Although she escapes unharmed she is left psychologically reeling. Over the next few weeks Ellis keeps everyone at bay: the police suitors who want to save her and the university therapist who hints that her sweaters are too tight. But when Ellis accompanies her mother a nurse on a mission in the Philippines she finds the life - even if held up - cannot be held back and neither finally can she.
