Martin has it all. He's a world-class architect with a loving wife and a comfortable relationship with his gay teenage son. He's just landed a lucrative contract and is about to receive a prestigious international prize. But when Martin confides to his best friend a secret that could destroy him, his marital bliss takes a sharp turn, threatening his family and career. A darkly funny, passionate play about the limits of compassion, understanding and tolerance, and the nature of love itself.
