The Husband Hour

Following the death of her husband, NHL star and American military hero Rory Kincaid, Lauren resigns herself to a life of solitude on the Jersey Shore. She cuts herself off from her friends, won't talk to the press, and never wants to feel love again. This makes it difficult for filmmaker Matt Brio, who wishes to tell Rory's story, to find her. It's even more difficult for him to convince Lauren to talk to him. As Matt is searching for Lauren, her parents and sister arrive in town to stay. Family relations are not good, and Lauren's quiet life quickly unravels into chaos. A summer of solitude on the Jersey Shore is suddenly full of revelations and upheaval for Lauren, Matt, and Lauren's family. Brenner (The Forever Summer) shares an intriguing tale of love and loss. The picturesque beach town setting successfully counterbalances the emotional turmoil felt by the characters. Flashbacks add understanding and depth.
