New York City
Beth’s daughter’s been arrested, her husband’s involved in a scandal at work and her devout mother-in-law’s landed on her doorstep. Cracks in the foundations of their lives are widening to an abyss and all face hard questions: What do I believe in? What will I overlook to maintain my illusions? Who have I become? Ascension is a contemporary American drama about integrity, morality, and the private cost of the little deceits in everyday life.
