About How it EndsOn an ordinary evening in November 1993, Micah’s entire world collapsed when her father, Nolan, died in a car accident. As time passed, Micah suffered from horrifying night terrors and an eerie recurring dream that left her exhausted and on edge. How it Ends was supposed to free her from her nightmares and help her deal with her loss… but when she receives new information about her father’s accident from an unexpected source, Micah’s world changes once again. And she discovers that sometimes dreams aren’t dreams at all—they’re memories.About Season 1, Episode 1: Nolan JonesMicah knew that when she left her New Jersey hometown for college in Rhode Island, she'd never look back. Episode 1 of How it Ends brings us into Micah's world 25 years after her dad's death and despite her attempt, all those years ago... she quickly learns that you can't run from your past. This episode features one of Micah's rare trips back home to visit her mother, Ava. As their conversation stirs up long-forgotten memories and Ava can't--or won't--answer Micah's questions, it sets Micah on a search for information about a potential link between her father's accident and a recurring nightmare she's had since childhood.Content warnings: Grief, death of a parent, alcohol consumption, stalking, adult language.  For additional details, visit:Website: http://howitendspodcast.comTranscripts: https://www.howitendspodcast.com/how-it-ends-podcast-transcripts  Patreon Bonus Content: http://patreon.com/howitendsstudioMerch: http://howitendsstudio.threadless.comJoin our community on Discord: https://discord.gg/XTM9rgPPv9Credits: Written, Directed, and Produced by Stephanie Resendes & Micah RodriguezStarring Micah Rodriguez as Micah, Shey Rivera as Ava, Joshua Van Ness as Nolan, & Sarah Champagne as BillieSound Engineering & Editing by Chris AndersonMusic by Joshua Van NessEpisode transcripts by Evelyn Archer Social:  Instagram - http://instagram.com/howitendsstudioTwitter - http://twitter.com/howitendsstudio Hosted on Acast.
