SYNOPSIS:

This award-winning 28-minute drama explores how September 11, 2001 altered the life of Dee, a veteran New Jersey police officer, whose sister, a New York City police officer, perished in the World Trade Center terrorist attacks.  Six years post 9/11 and facing disciplinary charges by her Police Department for behavioral problems, Dee confides in a Police Chaplain her hidden repressed feelings about the death of her sister.  The Chaplain advises Donna to return to Ground Zero to confront her grief and anger in the hopes of finding closure for her loss.  Dee’s unexpected visit to St. Paul’s Chapel across the street from Ground Zero, a Holy place where not one pane of glass was broken during the terrorist attacks, shows her she is not alone in her grief and that closure doesn’t always mean an ending.
