At thirty-three, Craig, a black writer and artist, heeds the signs in his life and journeys into uncharted waters. After five years of searching, he shows up unannounced on his birth mother?s doorstep. Craig?s parents and sister are supportive of his search, as is Job, the Dutchman Craig has shared the last four years of his life with. Jennifer, a devout Seventh-Day Adventist, happy that her son has found her, attempts to allay her guilt and shame for giving him up and tries to make up for lost time. Jennifer meets Craig?s parents in an intense five-day visit that takes a physical and emotional toll on Craig and his mother Mary. Jennifer tries to undermine Mary, a devout Lutheran, suggesting that it is Mary?s fault that Craig loves men because she wasn't controlling enough and didn?t pray for him. Ultimately, however, Jennifer believes her son loves men because she abandoned him at birth.In an opportunistic turn of events, Craig plans a big family feast down in Georgia where England, the matriarch who forced her daughter to give him up at birth, lives in the apartment at the back of her son Joshua?s twenty-two room ?castle in the sky.?
