Synopsis

Barely Coping follows the story of Tristan, a boy who lost his parents in a tragic accident and retreats into a world of fantasy—choosing to live as a panda to avoid the pain of reality. As an adult, Tristan is forced to navigate the real world on his own for the first time. He’s taken in by Audrey and her grieving family, who are facing their own painful loss. As Tristan helps them heal in unexpected ways, he begins to confront his own past and discovers that sometimes, the best way to cope is to stop hiding—no matter how comfortable the fur suit is.
