The supporting characters are equally layered. Joe, the ebullient Cuban-American food-truck owner, initially seems like comic relief, but Cannavale imbues him with a desperate need for connection. Joe talks incessantly not out of joy, but out of fear of silence—the silence that might reveal his own loneliness. Olivia, grieving the death of her young son, literally stumbles into Fin’s life, crashing her car near the depot. Her pain is raw and unglamorous; she drinks too much and speaks in fragments. McCarthy uses Olivia to explore how grief isolates even those who once thrived on connection. Together, these three misfits form a family not by blood or romance, but by mutual recognition of each other’s wounds.

Then there is Olivia Harris (Patricia Clarkson), a scattered, grieving artist who nearly runs Fin over—twice. Olivia is a mess of exposed nerves, dealing with a messy divorce and the death of her child. She offers Fin a landline and a place to belong, creating a fragile triangle of friendship between the three.
