Sean has dropped out of college to care for his very ill, very politically incorrect father, Brian. Even more, Sean wants to finally reconcile with him, a hope that Brian dashes with aplomb, telling Sean at the outset that he is the biggest disappointment in Brian's life. Of such an insult, only Sean's self-absorbed sister, Patty, could find a way to be jealous: at least, Sean matters enough to Brian to disappoint him. Closure is a black comedy about the end-game of a dysfunctional life, and how even a broken family will try to mend itself before the last chance at reconciliation is gone forever.
