The play is a love story about invisible disability.

Chris is a city lawyer; Jess is a Ph.D. student. Two ordinary people in a relationship who want to get on with their lives. The birth of their son and the economic crash create a catalyst of events that leads them to discover who they really are.

Can their relationship survive the challenges of accepting their newfound reality?
