Plot summary
Beth is one of the many volunteers who staff a helpline, answering calls at night from people who are lonely or in trouble and simply want someone to talk to. Her shift brings a run of callers: a man out of prison for a year, a husband who has told his wife he no longer loves her, and a young woman whose abusive boyfriend is trying to pimp her out, which upsets Beth. Over the past year the number of calls coming in has grown heavier. Through the night Beth guards her own vulnerability, staying steady for the people on the line while giving them resources and encouragement.
