The Powers, a picturesque family. David Powers, a classic country singer with a comeback album on the horizon works away with his tools on the grounds of the estate. Janet Powers, the matriarch of the house toiling away in the kitchen preparing a feast for the family. Ben Powers, buried amongst the various computer windows of gameplay, text chats, and live streaming feeds. And Grace, dejected with a black eye starring into old pictures of days when she thought she was happy. One click is all it would take, it wouldn't undo any of what she's been through, and yeah it would probably make it all worse, she'd be attacked by everyone, the whole family would. A single click on the 'publish' button, and everything would come out, everything about her father, what it's like to live in this house. 'Why not' she thinks, 'I won't be here to see it, burn it all down'.
