This darkly comic story takes on domestic life in the 21st century as well as the possibility to personally transform. Main character Harold Silver has felt like a second fiddle to his younger brother all his life. He’s had to watch from the sidelines as he sees George be smarter, taller, more successful.

Harry has witnessed his rise to become a top television executive and eventually marry his beautiful wife and have two kids while purchasing and living in their home in the suburbs of NYC. Harry is a historian and a Nixon scholar, and while he is aware that his brother is doing well he also knows that George has a really bad temper.

When George ends up losing control, what happens next is a shocking act of violence that affects everything. Suddenly both of the brothers find that their lives have changed overnight. Now they are living new lives and inside of these lives they are both going to have to look for absolution in order to repair.

Now Harry is finding that he is somehow the parent figure for his brother’s two children while also contending with aging parents and his own relationship to sex on the Internet. He also begins building his own family for the 21st century that was made through choice over biology, and as he does, the reader starts to become aware of the ways that history can lead to being our destiny, either allowing us to change what we have done or to repeat the mistakes we made before.
