Description: Weaves together the story of Harvey's childhood with her Uncle Jason, a disabled felon who took her in after her parents died, and as a young woman in Paris as she awaits his arrival for a Father's Day visit.

Harvey's life was shattered at the age of six, when she found herself in the care of a veteran social worker, and alone in the world save for an uncle she had never met-- Jason, a disabled felon, haunted by a violent past he can't escape. As a young woman in Paris, Harley looks back on her childhood on Long Island, and remember how she and Jason searched for a future in the ruin of their pasts.
