It is produced by Assembly Productions When BOBBY, aged thirty-two, returns from New York to his family's home outside Pittsburgh after the events of 9/11, his homecoming is triggered by his concern that his younger brother, CHRIS, may be retreating from those who love him and falling into an abyss of anger and despair over the state of the world. BOBBY tries to encourage a teenaged romance between CHRIS and KATE, a classmate of CHRIS's, but that may prove to be futile as CHRIS begins to don a military outfit, brandishes a gun, and starts talking about mining the hillside and hoarding grenades in his closet to protect himself and the woman he loves from the terrorists. What BOBBY didn't bargain for and soon discovers is that the woman CHRIS loves is his old flame, MEG, a self-professed 'groupie' who has been bed-hopping and dope-bingeing throughout the country for the past fifteen years. When BOBBY falls for MEG all over again, and tries to correct his past mistakes by making amends for all the wasted years, he is challenged by his younger brother as they both vie for her affection. Will he be able to convince MEG that they should be together after all these years, or will she still see him as the immature 'boy' he so easily proved to be all those years ago?
