This storytelling jumps from the date of their birth and 36 years later as we see a successful business executive find his biological father who left him at a fire station all that time ago, and a brother and sister living in Hollywood dealing with fundamental unhappiness and dissatisfaction with life. Grabs you kleenex this story gets real and tugs those heart strings!
High Points: 3 Dimensional Character Development; brisk efficient storytelling with a ton of showing and not telling; and past/present story telling.
