"A stressed-out neuro-surgeon goes off the highway in his jaguar and checks into a seedy hotel, deserted but for the bizarre woman who runs the joint and seems to know more about him than he knows himself." - from the publisher

Four guys sit around and talk about sex, love, women, and the meaning of life. Jocular and playful, these men can also be frank in revealing their vulnerability and profound desire for love and understanding. Just as the stag party is about to begin, the bride cancels the wedding. Chris, the jilted fiance, is a walking wounded, but as his three buddies attempt consolation, we discover that they, too, are relationship-challenged.

The story of Hania, a second generation Ukrainian-Canadian who goes on a mission to Ukraine, seeking out a missing piece of her family history for her grandmother, or Baba, named Kataryna whose mental health is rapidly deteriorating. The missing history Hania searches for may help Kataryna's mental state. Weaving conflicts past and present and pursuits both personal and political, this play explores trauma, displacement, familial bonds and the meaning of homeland in a place where all hopes for stability are undermined by hegemonic intervention.
