SYNOPSIS
Evan Williams has spent his adult life pursuing nothing in particular, never settling for anything too long including his father’s legacy in the world of competitive chess. His brother Owen Williams, on the other hand, has never been able to escape it. After finding themselves back in their father’s manipulative grasp, the two are faced with the realities of each other's lives and must finally confront each other, and the past that tore them apart.
