Description

The Davis family is in crisis. Sydney, the oldest brother, wants to sell the family homestead. A younger brother, Emmett, who has only tenuous connections to reality, finds his world unaccountably collapsing. Their sister Patty, professional companion to shut-ins and the elderly, lives in a world of funerals, wakes, and dreams. Another brother, Dennis, hasn’t come out of his room in twelve years. Sydney Davis want to break out!
