description: Benoni Van Buskierke, the mournful bon vivant, needs to explain. After forty years of blocking out the pathetic details of his early life, a tragedy summons him back home to Angel Falls. There, finally shaken from his emotional exile, he decides it is time to tell the story of his family. More than unwitting, in the demise of so many loved ones. A powerful story of a man sifting through his past in order to make sense of his life.
