“Every father builds a legacy. Every son makes a choice.”

A poignant, gripping exploration of the modern generational divide, toxic entitlement, and the heartbreaking reality of a father who gave everything to a son who took it all to build a life on a foundation of broken promises. Arthur gave his son, Julian, the absolute best years of his life. Working the fertile soil of the Salinas Valley, Arthur and his young wife, Margaret, poured every ounce of profit from their farm into Julian's future.
