Plot
In the middle of packing up his Toronto apartment in order to move back to the reserve where he was born, Jason Pierce, a half-Native half-white man, is visited by a stranger, Harry Dieter. Dieter claims to be his brother, the legitimate and acknowledged son of the white American man who fathered and then abandoned Jason. Dieter also has a specific motivation for finding Jason: their father is dying from kidney failure and they want to know if Jason is a possible match.
Adaptation
The play was adapted into a film in 2008 with John Hazlett directing from a screenplay penned by Taylor. It premiered on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network.
