Following the birth of his daughter, Jackie, middle-aged Zach MacIver is determined to stop what he terms "intergenerational transmission of family dysfunction" from plaguing his family. Over the course of two years, from the time Jackie is eight until she turns ten, Zach recounts his life experiences to her while attempting to navigate the obstacles created by her mother, Tina, who is experiencing her own version of intergenerational transmission of family dysfunction. The story begins during the COVID-19 pandemic when the world and its inhabitants face mounting daily trials and life-altering decisions. From there the narrative proceeds in a non-linear fashion as Zach recounts the roots of his own dysfunction and how his love for his daughter and his desire to be a good father forced him to face his difficulties head on. American author Jim Thompson once wrote, "There are thirty-two ways to write a story, and I've used every one, but there is only one plot-things are not as they seem." This story is a great reminder of that.
