Ben
Benjamin, who has spectacularly failed to protect his own two children, has
lost his wife, his job, and his home in addition to the children. Seeking any kind of employment, he ends up
taking a class on the fundamentals of caregiving and accepting a job looking
after a nineteen year old young man with advanced Duchenne muscular dystrophy,
a death sentence. Trevor’s mother is
over-protective, his father, unable to cope, has moved away. Together, Ben and Trevor embark on an epic
road trip, picking up odd characters along the way. At times hilarious, at times
heart-breaking. Never dull. 278
