With nothing to lose, Alexandra has locked herself in her Brooklyn brownstone with a pile of Molotov cocktails and is now in a standoff with her children and the police. When Alexandra is visited by her youngest son Chris - who has climbed into her second floor window ending a 20-year absence from her life - in the blink of an eye the emotional bombs start detonating.
