GEORGIE D, centers around Margaret Dudka, forty and forever going nowhere fast, who reunites with her damaged-goods brother Thomas at their estranged father's deathbed to "pull the plug," sell the house, and settle the old man's affairs as quickly as possible. Their efforts are complicated, however, when the chaos that has been slowly and silently tearing their family apart for generations is stirred up by their mutual longing to remember the love that might have been there all along.
