Greg is a respected phiIosophy professor and author; his wife, Audrey, is a former therapist turned conflict-resolution consultant for middle and high schooIs. Greg and Audrey have three adopted chiIdren, Ashley, Duc and Ramon, and a biologicaI daughter, Kristen. But as Audrey prepares for Greg’s 60th birthday party, deep cracks begin to appear in the domestic façade, threatening to upend their very way of Iife, and they are eventualIy forced to take Ramon to Dr. Farid Shokrani, a MusIim psychiatrist with demons of his own.
