On the evening before Thanksgiving break, Sunny finds herself in the classroom of a teacher every girl knows better than to be alone with. With the pressure of his palm seared into her thigh, she slams through the school doors into the autumn cold and flees to the relative safety of her broken home, setting off a chain of events that upends her life. With every emotional wound unraveling inside her, Sunny fixates on her estranged drug-addicted mother and forms a plan with her unshakeable best friend, Gracie, to track her down. A quest for answers, for healing, for love, How You Come Back navigates the darkness of trauma, and the flickering hope that can find the way forward.
