For as long as ZJ can remember, his dad has always been everyone’s hero: a pro football superstar, a beloved member of the neighbourhood and a really, really great dad. But there’s something not right about ZJ’s dad these days. He’s having trouble remembering things, seems to be angry all the time and is starting to forget ZJ’s name.

Bit by bit, ZJ has to face this new reality that his family can’t keep holding on to his dad’s glory days. As his dad begins to have more bad than good days, will they ever find happiness again?
