A short film based on the challenges that are faced by the parents, family members, caretakers and the educators of children with special needs.

When Richie comes over for another routine dinner at Matt's home. Matt realizes Richie's entire future depends on having him relax and loosen up and deliver great jokes for an office party Richie is trying to avoid until Matt's wife, Annie, walks in on a conversation she has partly overheard and misunderstood. Then she attempts to get Richie expelled to protect the domain of her "hearth and home," along with her interrelated culinary and business interests, until Annie's friend and business advisor, Susan, arrives and prompts the question - who in the room is the one who actually has issues that need sorting out.

In this short a Son shares his concerns to his Dad about his nightly involvement in the demonstrations and protests for the Black Lives Matter movement.
