Description

Katherine turns 45 today! Her family plans a lovely evening for her - dinner, presents, and drinks, with her husband, older son, and younger daughter. We seem set for a lovely evening. That’s until Edward arrives - her younger brother, and since his conviction of an appalling crime 6 months ago, her estranged brother. Chaos ensues as the parents have to navigate the emotional tumult of explaining to their kids why they can’t see their Uncle Eddie anymore.
