David's family is gathered by his bed at home as he lies in a coma and dreams of his secret life. His two sisters, Tish and Judy, his brother-in-law, Sam, and his partner Richard wrestle with emotions -and sometimes each other-as they struggle to come to terms with losing David. What would he want? They all come up with the same answer: "If David had his way we'd all be dancing."
