Emptiness has become his comfort zone. And yes, there are painful reasons for his fears. But an unusual request from an estranged friend exposes his heart in the most difficult way possible...with the love he once betrayed. When Chris agrees to reunite his friend's grown son, Max, with his mother in British Columbia, he's forced to confront the unresolved passions of their explosive affair that triggered her deportation years before. And though the drive to Canada may recall a few idyllic moments from the 60's, today's road trip is a dangerous one as Chris and Max are chased by drug dealers and pursued by Max's impetuous girlfriend. All the while, Max keeps hidden his real motive for going to Canada and the treacherous getaway plan he has in mind. Mature lovers. Young lovers. Hopes abandoned and dreams forsaken. A Family Garden transforms the journey North into a complex journey inward, where Chris and Max must find the courage to overcome their demons or lose forever the love they desperately need.
