When the patriarch of a large and once-proud family is diagnosed with a terminal illness, he entrusts his son with the family legacy, a task that proves more difficult than expected. Torn between loyalty to his father and a desire to protect the family’s legacy, the son finds himself at odds with the patriarch and the rest of the family. As he struggles to preserve the family’s history and tradition, the son also finds himself wrestling with his own identity and the ghosts of his past.
