Description: As they prepare for college, Jason Han and his older brother, Tommy, reluctantly work together to investigate their father's suicide. Ultimately, the investigation concludes violently, and the brothers move to Pittsburgh where they attempt to cohabit peacefully while working to settle their father's complicated estate. Together, they explore the city once described as "hell with the lid off", full of post-industrial landscapes and sultry coeds. The brothers also travel landscapes of guilt, betrayal, and secrets as they try to figure out what destroyed their family--and how to save what's left of it.
