MY DEAD FRIEND ZOE is a dark comedy that follows the journey of Merit, a US Army Afghanistan veteran who is at odds with her family thanks to the presence of Zoe, her dead best friend from the Army. Despite the persistence of her VA group counselor, the tough love of her mother, and the levity of an unexpected love interest, Merit’s dysfunctional friendship with Zoe keeps the duo insulated from the world. That is, until Merit’s estranged grandfather- holed up at the family-owned ancestral lake house- begins to lose his way and is in need of the one thing he refuses- help. At its core, this is about a complicated friendship, a divided family, and the complex ways in which we process grief.
