When Faith’s girlfriend, Liv, dies in a mass shooting, she is more alone than she has ever been. Until her house starts acting strangely. With the help of her neighbors, Robert and Cody, Faith begins reaching out to Liv in hopes of reconnecting with her. With each attempt to make contact with the other side, Faith, Robert, and Cody all have to challenge their various beliefs about death, the afterlife, and what it means to move on.
Losing Faith is a play about grief, and the way the people we have lost still linger in our lives. Is being haunted always such a bad thing?
