The story

Jason Lair lives with his ailing grandfather Henry, son Zach, and a live-in nurse, Katrina, from Denmark. Jason's thieving musician father Turner darkens their doorstep after having abandoned him 30 years ago, when he was two years old and had lost his mother who had died in a car accident. Turner disappeared into addiction and Jason was left with a bum leg, so Jason is bitter with his arrival and obviously not pleased.
