Louis Lasker loves his family dearly - apart from when he doesn´t. There´s a lot of history. His father´s marriages, his mother´s death; one brother in exile, another in denial; everything said, everything unsaid. And now his father has taken a decision which threatens to blow the family apart.

We join the Laskers for what might be their final days together. One last chance to fix things. It´s a matter of life and death . . .
