Description
Dan Mueller, a construction worker, is struggling with a wrongful death lawsuit and the disciplinary issues of his teenage daughter, Daisy. The family is privately mourning the tragic suicide of their son, Brian. When Dan violently assaults a rude driver on the job, his outburst is witnessed by an actor from a neighborhood theater across the street. She invites him to read for the part of Lord Capulet in their upcoming Shakespeare production. As Dan becomes more deeply involved in the play, the onstage drama begins to mirror his own family’s trauma, ultimately pushing them to confront their shared loss and find a way to communicate and heal
