From playwright Steven Levenson (The Language of Trees) comes a world premiere play about the price we pay for defaulting on those we love. Tom Durnin (Morse) did the time for his white-collar crime and is now determined to win back the respect he believes he deserves, no matter the price. Tom's son allows his father to camp out on his couch, hoping he has finally turned a new page. Can Tom find a place in a family that has worked so hard to move on without him?
