Kathryn, Max and Caden gather at a remote rural house for a family reckoning.

Kathryn, Max and Caden gather at a remote rural house to delve into personal and political revelations. Will the family fight take the world stage?

Twenty years of family hurt and betrayal come to a head as the mother, the father and the son gather at a remote rural house near Caden’s rehab facility. Kathryn discovers the truth of the upbringing that Max inflicted on Caden – the creation of a man taught to feel nothing. She realizes how profoundly she failed her son by losing him to Max. This is a chance to fight the battle she lost during Caden’s childhood – emotion against machismo, idealism versus pragmatism. Will the family fight take the world stage?
