When an anxious soon-to-be father returns to his estranged dad's chaotic New York apartment, he's pulled into a messy, darkly funny confrontation with family history, forgotten memories, and the unraveling mind of a man he thought he'd already said goodbye to, until an obituary forces him to rewrite what legacy really means. Balancing dark, biting humor with emotional urgency, Obit. explores dementia, generational inheritance, and the fear of becoming one's parents, while asking what, if anything, we leave behind when memory fails.
