Howard Keir was a talented photographer on the fast track from a purely academic life in the confines of a university fine arts studio- to a successful career as an artist for high fashion magazines. Three years later, he is an unknown short order cook at a truck stop outside of Jacksonville, Florida. Howard's days are spent tending to his abusive grandfather or visiting his only remaining friend, Ray. Long nights are manageable in smoke breaks and intimate conversation with Valery, a server struggling to pay tuition, rent and debt. Valery watches Howard's every move, longing to understand his need for absolute control over ultimate chaos. Howard and Valery glimpse something deeper in each other- a vulnerability hidden from their closest friends. When Howard's ex-lover Gloria re-enters his life, the once-great photographer's imagination is ignited- forcing him to relive his past and come to terms with his present. Howard turns to Valery and Ray for support but his quest for the recognition he deserves sends all three of them spiraling towards redemption or ruin.Told in a spare style, Everything In Its Place reveals college students coming of age at the dawn of the millennium- cut adrift in a world where they must carefully balance obligation with unlimited freedom and real world temptations.Soundtrack on Spotify at: https: //open.spotify.com/user/wwd6761/playlist/316HehRM21k79NDokv9hh
