Take a Closer Look

Thirty-nine year old Ann has many questions and fears about the world, and usually just tries to repress them. She has just moved downtown and is afraid to walk anywhere after dark, but with her new job at the liquor store, she tries to overcome this fear since she thinks it''s silly to drive her car three blocks. She avoids eye contact with people on the street and enjoys her life of solitude.

Ann throws aside her reserved nature to befriend her forty-nine year old neighbor, Tee, and the two discover they both have questions about the world. While getting to know each other through activities such as playing basketball and chess, many topics come up, from celebrity drama to history to politics, and even some things that could be considered conspiracies. Tee and Ann develop feelings for each other, but Tee doesn''t want Ann to meet her ten-year-old daughter yet due to a bad experience in a past relationship. The two must meet while Lana is either in school or in bed.

Will Ann and Tee''s relationship grow stronger, or will their disparate learning styles hinder them? Is Ann really safe working at the liquor store? Will she learn how to overcome her fears, or end up with more questions than answers?
