Synopsis:
Upon receiving news of his mother's death, Michael, who has been estranged from his family for the last fifteen years, must go home to make sure his eternal screw-up of a brother doesn't mess up the estate. Unfortunately, Michael has no idea how much of a mess he's actually in for, but with a little truth and a kleptomaniac Frenchman named Jeffries, he just might find out something he didn't think was possible.

Notes:
Commissioned by the Source Festival in Washington DC.
