A young couple on the brink of a happy life loses it all when her military husband is deployed and fails to return. Locked in the bittersweet torture of her last memory of him, she travels like a wraith through the land of the living, mourning her loss, waiting for the return of her love -- which will never come. Loneliness, grief, and denial coalesce into the urge to pour her soul onto paper, to write one final letter to the man who fills her dreams, echoes in her memory, and whose absence colors the landscape of her future in muted shades of gray. Directed by John C. Sheetz, Departure, is a story about the destructive power love can have on the person left behind.
