The Leftovers - A saga about power, consent, and the myth of the perfect victim

The Leftovers is a story about sexual power and consent, the myth of the perfect victim, and a dark exploration of the things we do for – and to – the ones we love.

Callie’s life is spent caring for others – for Frey, her client, and for Noah, her brother. When a tragic car accident shatters her family, she’s left alone with her mother Vanessa. Vanessa''s favourite child was Noah; Callie''s favourite parent was her dad. Now they''re stuck with each other - the leftovers of their family - and they''ll have to confront the ways they''ve been hurt, and the ways they''ve passed that hurt on to others.
