Tony and his girlfriend Chris lead a happy and quiet lifestyle with Tony's three kids in New Jersey. But with the arrival of Chris's brother the family is forever changed, and the true nature of love is tested by a deeply held secret in this shattering and unconventional story. 59E59 is pleased to welcome the debut production (and world premiere!) of prolific producer and playwright, Robert Callely.

"Thornes gives a strong performance as Chris.Timothy John Smith is fine as the insecure husband. Slattery, Kapner and Brod play the three children with intelligence and honesty. Robert Hogan has one hilarious scene as a woefully incompetent priest. Michael Parva directs the production and does a fine job." - Theatre is Easy
