But when her beloved father dies after a decade-long battle with cancer when she is just a teenager, it feels like the end of everything. Lost in grief, Al and her mother hardly know where to begin with the rest of their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInto this grieving house burst Al's three friends from theater camp, determined to help out as only drama students know how--and they're moving in for the duration.
