Austin MacIntosh returns home for the first time in years of estrangement after receiving news of his father’s death. Though they live within an hour’s drive, they have not seen or spoken to each other in years. At the age of seventeen, Austin came out to his parents. He and his father had a great relationship and bond through music. Despite this, Austin’s father couldn’t accept his son being gay and kicked him out of the family home. Austin’s love for music and playing piano was his safe place and his father was his hero. When all of that was taken away, Austin had to find a new path on his own. His family wouldn’t accept him. He now must reconcile his feelings towards his late father. He also needs to repair the relationship with his brother and mother.
