The attic of a Manhattan brownstone in 1968. Solomon, a 90-year-old antiques dealer, finds himself in the middle of an uneasy reunion between two long estranged brothers. One a successful doctor, the other a sargeant with the New York police. Both still haunted by memories of the American Depression.

Against the backdrop of this defining moment in American history, a family play out their own personal dramas as long repressed dreams, desires and resentments bubble to the surface.
