Daphne is staying with her dad for the first time in a while. He is a recovering alcoholic who hasn't been in Daphne's life much since The Skate Park Incident. She's reluctant to trust him again and is looking for a way to get back with her mom. Over the course of a few days, Daf remembers the love she had for skating that she shared with her dad by skating with a new friend, Arlo. Daf asks questions of the adults around her and they share more about alcoholism and her dad's life experiences, and slowly she learns to trust again.
Moderate: Alcoholism
