Ask the Passengers

Astrid Jones feels isolated, unable to confide in her overbearing mother or disinterested father about her feelings, especially as she navigates her burgeoning love for a girl. Instead, she finds solace lying on her backyard picnic table, watching planes fly overhead and imagining the lives of the passengers within. As her secret relationship deepens and her friends seek answers, Astrid grapples with her reality and the impact of connections—both profound and fleeting—on her journey to understanding herself and others.
