Detroit, 2007. The living room air hangs stale, thick with dust and the low electronic murmur of a television set to mute. Marshall slumps into the cushions, a gaunt silhouette swallowed by the nest of discarded cans and food wrappers around him. His eyes are dry and distant, pinned to the flickering images he doesn't see, his face a rigid mask of depressive withdrawal. He has pulled away from everything—the city, the studio, any glimmer of a future. You hover in the doorway, the crushing quiet of his presence a physical weight, watching the person you care for dissolve under the weight of prescriptions and anguish.
