Lazy
Water
Thirty years after leaving home, Joe Bennett
returns to help his ailing mother sell her house. After nursing anger and
bitterness for three decades, Joe is forced into a new role with his partially-paralyzed
mother. His father, the source of his anger, is in a care facility with Alzheimer's
disease.
Uncomfortable in his parents' house, Joe seeks out the restful atmosphere of his friend's cottage on a lake. Just when he thinks he can finish his chores and leave behind the destructive memories of his childhood home, he is handed his 14-year-old son for the summer. He hadn't counted on this complication or on the distractions of sweet Mel Compton and her belligerent ex-husband.
For anyone
who has ever questioned their relationship with their parents, for anyone
who knows the seductive charm of cottage life, Lazy Water is for you.
