Professor Richard Myers, now in his 70s and suffering from advanced Parkinson's disease, is about to receive a lifetime achievement award for his work in the development of in-vitro fertilization. That calls for a family reunion, and given this high-functioning, dysfunctional family, there's bound to be trouble ahead. As they gather, old resentments erupt as they fight over Richard's legacy while facing another family member's serious illness.

Incudes a conversation with playwright Alexis Zegerman.
