The narrative follows Claire Bennett (Jennifer Aniston), a former attorney grappling with overwhelming grief and chronic pain following a tragic car accident that resulted in the death of her son. Adding to her turmoil is the suicide of Nina Collins (Anna Kendrick), a member of her chronic pain support group. Nina’s death, which occurred as she jumped at the intersection of highways 110 and 105, was shrouded in tragic irony.
