Driving up the coast of California, Steven seeks out his fatherâ€™s friends, family, and former colleagues, and is transported back to his 1980s childhood: his parentsâ€™ legendary pool parties, black-and-white films on the backyard projector, his fatherâ€™s male friends in the cabana houseâ€¦ With every revelation his father becomes more difficult to recognise, and, with every insight, Steven must confront truths about his own life.
