Daniel Wunsch is worried about his teenage daughter, Cordelia. He worries that she is drinking too much-which she is-and he's particularly worried because his mother had a serious problem with alcohol. In fact, his troubled mother disappeared when he was seventeen. She left a note, left the family, and vanished thirty years ago. Now, as he looks at Cordelia, who bears a striking resemblance to her missing grandmother, he feels certain that disaster is imminent.

She keeps a packed suitcase under her bed, ready to leave home at any moment.
