Michael's story is that his family is in crisis. Their lives have been on hold since the death of his brother twelve months ago. They have never properly dealt with it as a family and now everyone is walking around with their feelings bottled up inside. The situation comes to a head when Michal's father finds out that Michael is gay and suddenly a years' worth of painful truth comes rushing out.
