The Last Store Open in Azusa, California

Chuck serves customers day after day at the CVS in which he works. The rest of the workers have long abandoned a store that has almost been picked clean during the pandemic. Chuck is a man of few words, preferring to listen to the final voicemails from his late wife. Lost in his grief, the words and kindness of a stranger pierce through his sadness and we begin to see the man Chuck once was--and may be again.
