Our Father's Sons Don Barnhart

This rough and tumble story concerns the quest for love in a four generational family hell bent on securing that response. It's a humorous take on a serious subject centered around the unique relationship of the Hart family, a pack of loners that would definitely define the word. When a ninetieth birthday celebration and an art respective of the Patriarch's work collide on the same weekend, Jonathan Hart's whole family sets about to return to the spacious ranch and attend his event with enough personal agendas to fill the heated pool. Willy Hart, the angry prodigal son (and one time only best-selling author), his son, Paul Hart, the randy B-movie director, and his son, Sonny Hart, the youngest, (desperate to find out who he really is), finally converge to settle some love scores, and it's not about tennis. Toss in a few lady spitfires and the road to redemption is just a wild trip around the emotional cul-de-sac, with forgiving and being forgiven the top priorities. This four generational romp wraps its tight fist around the throat of familial intimacy and laughs at its own self to finally let it go.
