In this contemporarydrama, a dark family secret is pushed to the surface when a gay man is forced to return to his rural hometown to care for his ailing mother. Finally back in a place he had all but abandoned, he's forced to reconcile the young man he once was with the man he's become.

What role should past horrors play in defining our religious views, our self-perception, even our politics? Is there such a thing as a contemporary Jewish identity independent of the Holocaust? Should there be? What if the Holocaust had never happened? Join Barry in an unbelievable round the world adventure as he tracks down deniers from Illinois to Iran, meets engineers and ex-presidents, and dodges a brother in Hungary and a boyfriend back home on a journey to discover the shocking truth.
