The play explores the life of an old man whose son is suffering from Depression. As the father is trying to understand why and how his son has reached this point, he starts looking at their life as a family, himself as a father and the inexplicable nature of mental illness. As the father goes deeper into past and present, the piece begins to investigate the strong forces and bonds that operate within a family, pulling us together and pulling us apart. The piece also attempts to create conversation around Depression , from the standpoint of the outsider , in this case, the father, who is watching his son descend deep into isolation, an isolation that will drown them both. In the course of the piece, the protagonist directly addresses the audience - sharing his fears, his failures and his achievements, in the process posing larger questions around relationships, mental health and the inherent strength and inherent frailty of the human condition.
