The son. The mother. The husband. Can they ever really know each other—or will there always be a chasm between them?

Or will their personal bonds strengthen in the face of adversity? This uncompromising, intelligent, and lyrical play is a frank and profound exploration of family, self-discovery, and acceptance.
