Never Better is a dramatic story with sharp comedic undertones about Brennan Weir, a widowed college professor stranded in the strange purgatory of grief. Wry, observant, and quietly unraveling, Brennan convinces himself he is managing just fine until his estranged brother, Myer, arrives on what he calls a mission of mercy. Myer's intrusion tests Brennan's coping strategies and brings unresolved family history back into the open. As past and present collide, the brothers stumble through memory, resentment, and reluctant tenderness in search of something resembling "normal." What unfolds is a brutal and darkly funny commentary on the human condition-that leaky vessel we all pretend is seaworthy.
