About this Event
Aiden lost his father on 9/11, but because his body was never identified, Aiden refuses to believe that he's dead. After almost a decade, Aiden's mother reveals that she's been hiding personal items found in the rubble at ground zero. One of these items is very unusual, and it’s something that Aiden refuses to accept. Aiden spirals, and in search of answers, he connects with his Uncle Bill, a man who believes firmly in conspiracy theories. Aiden’s search for the truth about his father tests everything he believes, and ends up re-defining his understanding of reality, death and time.
