But the legalities of his will must be observed and more than one Canavan sibling is harbouring secrets. As the Canavans return to the family home, the fate of the family unit, their sanity and the Canavan estate all hang in the balance.

Dreamtown
Mickey Richards, a delusional, aging rocker who never realized his dreams, lives a carefree, rock-and-roll lifestyle—spending his nights in bars, spinning tales about his glory days to a group of youths. Then there’s Gina Fox, the young bartender, the only one in the world who still believes in Mickey.
Mickey’s life has amounted to little more than a progression of minor chords. A failed marriage, a dead-end job, and a neglected relationship with his musically talented son, Alan. Determined to reconnect, Mickey decides it’s time to show Alan what he’s been missing, but Mickey’s clumsy attempts to impress Alan only drive a deeper wedge between them.
Caught between past dreams and present regrets, Mickey’s losing his grip. It’s time to face the music, and finally wake up from Dreamtown.
