Years ago, Casey left an abusive relationship, settling for an isolated life across the country, free of the obligations of family or friends. However, when an old friend, Veronica, reenters their life, and romance with a new flame starts to bloom, Casey confronts the trauma of their past and their own struggles with intimacy. Navigating the ways intimate partner violence can complicate perceptions of people, space, and time, I’M HERE NOW invites us to celebrate the beauty and autonomy of our ever-changing selves.
