A Quick Summary of a Movie about a Stepmom and Son.

A man who served in the military has recently passed away, leaving his loving wife, Laurie (Dana Vespoli), and her stepson, Andrew (Oliver Flynn), behind. Laurie is devastated and unsure how she’ll continue on, though Andrew is there to help her however he can, even if he’s dealing with his own grief of having lost a parent.

One day Laurie solemnly brings her husband’s military uniform to Andrew as they reflect upon what a wonderful man he was. Eventually, Laurie insists that Oliver try on the uniform, saying it’d make his parent proud. Although Andrew is a little unsure since he’s worried about being disrespectful, Laurie assures him that his parent would WANT him to wear the uniform — he’d be honoring the memory in the most wonderful way.

Andrew delicately puts on the uniform and stands tall and silent before Laurie. Laurie is hit with a mix of emotions but likes what she sees, unexpectedly becoming aroused and longing for her own stepson in place of her husband. Caught up in the moment, she makes a bold move on Andrew, although he’s shocked as he gently holds her back. That’s when Laurie gives into her desperation and grief, telling Andrew that this fleeting moment between them is EXACTLY what she needs to finally be able to move on…
