A crack is appearing right in front of Steve’s face. A wet, broken opening in the ceiling above his bed. He stares at it every night before he goes to sleep.

At home, his family barely speak to him. His son’s personality has dissipated into his phone, while his wife has become a dejected stranger. How could life have become so disappointing?
