The Leftovers is a story about sexual power and consent, the myth of the perfect victim, and a dark exploration of the things we do for – and to – the ones we love.
Callie’s life is spent caring for others – for Frey, her client, and for Noah, her brother. When a tragic car accident shatters her family, she’s left alone with her mother Vanessa. Vanessa#&39;s favorite child was Noah; Callie#&39;s favorite parent was her dad. Now they#&39;re stuck with each other - the leftovers of their family - and they#&39;ll have to confront the ways they#&39;ve been hurt, and the ways they#&39;ve passed that hurt on to others.
