Overview

In 1964, upon learning of his mother’s sudden passing, 21-year-old Danny Lucas returns to his childhood home in St Louis. Sorting through the clutter and disorder left behind, he comes face to face with a grandmother and a family history he never knew existed, and is left to try to piece together a story spanning three generations and two world wars, from a narrative that may or may not be real. A story about the sacrifices parents can make to protect and defend their children, Ace explores how history is made and memorialized, and how truth is defined from one generation to the next.
