Molly Harrison, an agoraphobic mortician, has been anchored to the safety of her funeral home for over three years. Her vivacious mother and precocious teenage daughter try in their own humorous ways to help her take that first step down the front walk, including hypnosis, sensory-overload therapy and a trip to Moscow. But in the end, Molly must realize what is truly important in her life before the power of love can finally inspire her to embrace the world again.
“Wake is thoughtful, introspective and exceedingly painful at times, but its insistence on reality produces positive results. I was always attracted to cable TV’s well-written series Six Feet Under and was reminded of the anxieties and quirky appeal of that family as I watched Wake. It is so honest and soothing that you will be captivated… by its gently powerful, life-affirming qualities.”
