From back cover: A deeply humorous, clear-eyed portrait of grief and loss. Depicts a Lebanese American family in rural Pennsylvania beset by an absurd string of tragedies. At the play's center is Joseph Douaihy, a once promising world-class runner now sidelined by injury. As Joseph confronts his deteriorating health, he is also forced to face the death of his father, an ailing uncle, and a desperate boss consumed by her own troubles.
