A claustrophobic, psychologically intense family tragedy that excavates decades of resentment, addiction, and broken dreams through a single day of brutal honesty.

Over the course of a day, a married couple, Mary and James Tyrone, and their two sons, Jamie and Edmund, grapple with Mary's morphine addiction and confront each other over the past in a series of emotionally tense and volatile exchanges.
