Private Project

Red Sneakers

Shelly, a survivor of domestic abuse, works as a food delivery driver to support herself and her daughter. Because of the abuse, she has regular C-PTSD episodes. Shelly meets an unhoused veteran who has one request: a cold turkey sandwich. She's excited that she can help until painful memories attempt to thwart her efforts. When a childhood coping strategy no longer offers comfort, she must decide if working through her pain is worth the effort.
