STANDBY

When her husband’s estranged father dies, a Korean-American psychologist tries to keep her depression-prone spouse connected to life as funeral debt, a faith-based inheritance ultimatum, and their elderly dog’s medical crisis turn one loss into a test of how much grief a marriage can carry.

A marriage doing math. Funeral invoices, an inheritance with a religious price tag, and a fifteen-year-old dog with a vet bill, all inside one apartment where two smart people keep deciding not to say the worst true thing.
