An ex-girlfriend piecing together where things went wrong. An elderly neighbor watching a routine that slowly disappeared. A childhood friend recalling one strange night in the woods. A classmate remembering a graduation night that felt like it meant everything.None of them are telling the same story. None of them realize they are.Larry never speaks for himself. He doesn't need to. Through five fragmented, deeply human perspectives, a portrait assembles itself of a man who was funny, perceptive, and kind, and who was quietly disappearing in plain sight.
