Kim has passed. Carrie is lost, alone and crushed under the weight of a thousand waves. Her life has, once again, been torn from her. Her heart broken, crushed and there is no one catching her freefall.
Is that all that life holds for her? Pain, heartbreak, betrayal? Maybe she would have been better off if Dennis had never found her on the roadside and she had been allowed to throw herself into the ocean. Sometimes life is too much.
It is then Kim's people showed up, out of nowhere, out of the ether, not quite all of them but enough so you would never know the difference. None could say, how exactly, they knew Kim had passed, or why they had come to this house in Newport, they just seemed to know. And none of them were bothered or curious about the happenstance, they accepted it was supposed to be this way.
They came. They cooked. They drank. And they reminisced. And then they were gone. All except Dennis and Henry, the doctor from New Orleans. They will stay a little longer but even they have lives they must return to. And she will be left with memories, emptiness, loneliness, sorrow and no direction, no plan no future.
Kim had found her salvation in her journey, maybe Carrie can do the same. She will complete what Kim started. It will be a spiritual quest to bring her closer to who and what Kim had been. The journey will allow Carrie to experience some of what Kim did in her last few months of life. She will discover her true path by following Kim's.
But one person's journey is another person's dead end, as Carrie soon finds out. If she is too find any peace, any contentment, any chance at life and love, she must find her own path. Not follow a path not meant for her.
She comes to that realization quickly, only to flounder in insecurities, her past, her guilt and her loneliness. If she is to dig out of the hole she has allowed herself to slip into she will have to build her own ladder. And she will have to find it alone, on the road.
It is a trip of discovery of a country, of who she is and who she will become, of her love for Kim, whether she can shake off her distrust of humanity and whether she can break out of her self-created prison.
