Plot Synopsis

As young boys, Perry and Ken witnessed the tortuous decline and abrupt passing of their father from Parkinson’s disease. Nearly fifty years later, the brothers, now 58 and 51, find themselves simultaneously diagnosed with the same degenerative disease. Terrified and unwilling to face what seems like an inevitable end, the brothers make a pact to learn the art of swordplay and eventually face each other before becoming physically incapable of battle. For both Perry and Ken, this duel must be fought in order to spare their beloved brother from the advancing end-stage of the disease. They have been training for months despite the inescapable progression of the illness for the confrontation that will one day decide who will be spared their father’s fate. Today is that day.
