Synopsis
Spoiler shield
"Absence" is the story of personal loss and tragedy that befalls three very different people in the setting of a small, New York suburb. Told from three points of view, it unfolds in three vignettes which tie a larger storyline together.
“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
