Franny has been out of the country working on her PHD in Anthropology. She immediately returns home when her mother phones to tell her that her brother has been in an accident. Henry was hit by a car when he was crossing a street and he is in a coma. Franny tracks down his favorite musician, James Forester. James comes to the hospital room to sing for Henry. Franny is trying everything she can think of to bring Henry out of his coma. Franny and James go to the clubs and coffee shops to see those involved with the indie music scene in Northern Brooklyn.
Franny feels terrible because she had angry words with her brother and it’s been six months since they have had contact with each other. James is very supportive with the grief Franny is feeling and her anxiety over Henry’s recovery. Franny and her mother Karen are very worried about whether or not Henry will come out of his coma!! 3 1/2* (I liked this movie)
