About the Project
After Justin Walker is placed on life support, Paul Petersen
frantically pleas with Justin’s mother, Cynthia Walker, to keep him alive.
After seventy-two hours, she makes the ultimate choice, to turn off the
machines, leaving behind years of secrets and lies.
In a day filled with revelations and exposing memories, Paul, attempting
to write a song for Justin, struggles to come to terms with his secret love
affair and true feelings for Justin. As a phone call that could change Paul’s
life looms in the shadows, the spirit of Justin visits Paul throughout the
day in an effort to heal their open wounds.
Cynthia and her daughter Sara arrive to help plan the funeral. Paul and
Justin’s other two roommates, Alice and Jayce, must keep Justin’s room,
filled with land mines of truth, out of their reach. Unexpected visits from
Lysa, the crazy neighbor, and Gregory, one of Justin’s choreographers and
ex-boyfriends, opens the door into the real relationships both Paul and
Cynthia had with the man they loved.
As the secrets and lies take their toll on Paul and Cynthia, the battle for
who truly loved Justin rages to the boiling point.
Bound by Blood explores the heartbreaking and powerful process of
acceptance and self discovery by engaging how memory and tension
affect those after the loss of a loved one. Ultimately, what binds a family
together is tested, and as hidden truths become transparent we learn, truth
takes time. This will be the Los Angeles premiere of BOUND BY BLOOD after a successful World Premier production in San Francisco.
