In the outer limits of rural Idaho, the last two estranged members of the Fernsby family tree – a reclusive aunt and her gay nephew – reunite to sort the mess left behind after the passing of a troubled family member. They now face an uncomfortable and universal question: How do we deal with other people? And, is connection more trouble than it’s worth? As their relationship begins anew, the two reluctant Fernsbys, separated by age and experience, start to understand the joys and perils of letting someone else into your own story, even if only for a moment.
Samuel D. Hunter's plays include The Whale (adapted into an Academy Award-winning film), A Bright New Boise, Greater Clements, Pocatello, Lewiston/Clarkston, The Few, The Harvest, A Permanent Image and A Case for the Existence of God.
