Ben Is Back (2018)
Holly Burns weiß gar nicht, wie ihr geschieht: Wie aus dem Nichts steht plötzlich ihr ältester Sohn Ben vor der Tür, bereit, wieder in den Kreis der Familie aufgenommen zu werden. Doch die Stimmung droht schon bald zu kippen, denn auch wenn seine Mutter nur zu gerne glauben würde, dass Ben sein Drogenproblem hinter sich gelassen hat, bleibt ein gewisser Zweifel. Sein Stiefvater Neal und seine Schwester Ivy sind von der Rückkehr nur wenig begeistert und befürchten, schon bald vor einem emotionalen Trümmerhaufen zu stehen – schon wieder. Doch Holly gibt ihren Sohn nicht auf und steht ihm in dieser besonders schweren Zeit bei, um die Familie zusammenzuhalten. Ben wird allerdings schnell von seiner Vergangenheit eingeholt, sodass sich seine Mutter fragen muss, ob sie ihren eigenen Sohn überhaupt kennt.
