When Marie-Therese arrives in the emergency room of a small hospital in the Bronx, frozen and in shock, no one knows her story. To the doctors and nurses, she is just another elderly, abandoned woman who can't even tell them her name. But Marie-Therese's dementia is not all that it seems. And when her not so-prodigal son, Danny, returns home, Marie-Therese must fight to maintain her dignity in light of her son's insistence on confronting the ugly secrets of their past. In this unconventional family drama, Stephen Adly Guirgis gives us a mother and son who must first face a long legacy of abuse in order to find the true meaning of grace.
