Unfortunately Leslie is unable to pry herself away from her cell phone and the needy patients on the other end, and Brooke is a teenager unable to pry herself away from her own adolescent exasperation. Typical mother daughter friction, until, Brooke hits a small animal, Leslie's patient begins talking suicide and silence is broken on the quiet country road when an elderly couple come barreling along in their Station Wagon.
