Renowned author Norman Bloom wakes up on his 80th birthday and decides to take a stroll down memory lane to review his life. He's just getting warmed up when he receives a phone call that will rock his world.
"You see, sir, my name is David Bloom Adler. I was named after your father. How that came to be is what I would like to meet with you and talk about."
And with that, what was intended as a mere exercise in self-indulgence evolves into something far more meaningful. Norman's exploration of his past uncovers long-kept secrets and hidden truths that transform his understanding of his identity and heritage. From the sacrifices of his father in World War II to the enigmatic Adler-Hirsch family pact, Norman's reflections and Adler's revelations weave a story of courage, sacrifice, love, loss, and resilience that bring new meaning to his life and a renewed sense of purpose to an old man's future.
