By Caspar Walsh. The story of a man coming to terms with the memory of his father who wasn't there for him, based on a real sequence of letters sent to writer Caspar Walsh by his own father from prison.

To resolve his dilemma, he must find a way of escaping from the shadow of his father, who was imprisoned for embezzlement.
