Charlie once made a living as a travelling magician. His picture-perfect marriage and family, though, has been torn asunder by a crippling loss. What will Charlie do to reclaim the family he loves? In this arresting drama, the ideal of marriage and parenthood is tested by Charlie’s griefdriven deviance, his overwhelming desire to raise a child, and his ability to create the grandest illusion of them all: happiness. With a young boy named Tommy as a prop, Angela, Charlie’s wife, eventually becomes complicit in the couple’s charade. Will Tommy fall under their spell too, or will the grand illusion come unraveled?
