Synopsis

In DAYS IN THE WAKE, a teenage girl and her seven siblings are unexpectedly abandoned by their father. Tricking them into thinking they are going to therapy after the death of their mother, the father shuttles the children from their home to a local hospital. While the teenage girl is suspicious from the start, the rest of the children sit in the waiting room, unaware that behind closed doors, their father is invoking the Safe Haven Law to sever his parental ties and relinquish them to the state foster care system. Their adult sister, the only sibling not dropped off that evening, returns home from work to find her entire family gone, and seeks help from her best friend and boyfriend in finding them. After leaving the hospital, the father grapples with the consequences of his decision and ultimately tracks his adult daughter down to explain himself. Meanwhile, the children languish in the hospital overnight, poked, prodded, and eventually separated from one another and dispersed to various care facilities.
