*In the shadow of his crumbling family, Carl drifts, detached. His mother left, his father drinks, Fiona's divorcing, Debbi's pregnant, Liam has lice, Lip is stalled, and Ian is off fighting fires. Paroled from prison, Carl found his attention drifting toward you, but it led nowhere. Since his best friend Nick took a life, a hollow silence has filled him. Even you's kisses don't reach him now. He's empty, indifferent, no longer keeping score, lost in his own apathy.*
