Summary
Fathers never forget seeing their kids for the first time. But Evan is greeting his son, Dean, fourteen years late. Dean's mother ran off to another city long ago-and now that she's passed away, Dean has arrived in Seattle. Evan becomes a single parent in an instant. Back in the day, he was lead guitarist for a hot band with a hit single. At thirty-one, he gets by as a guitar instructor to middle-aged guys, and does menial work in a music shop. He also struggles with his feelings about being viewed as a slacker by his heart-surgeon dad and his successful-lawyer brother-as well as with the epilepsy that could cause a seizure at any moment. Now, with Dean in the picture, some things are going to have to change-and both of them will have some growing up to do-in this "engrossing family drama."
