The Abbey

After losing his wife to the pandemic, formerly buttoned-up Sam is coming undone. An alarming incident finally pushes his friends and family to intervene, issuing an ultimatum: get away for a few days to confront whatever is keeping him stuck. The result is a silent retreat at a Trappist monastery, where there are no phones, no TV, no Wi-Fi—just one mocking bar of cell service daring him to slip back into the life he insists he controls. Add in a collection of quirky (and occasionally menacing) monks plus a fellow retreatant on her own journey of renewal, and you have the recipe for a tender comedy about grief, healing, and answering the question: does moving forward mean leaving old loves behind?
