'If I know why he is the way he is then maybe I can learn why I am the way I am,' says Alex Tuchman, strong-willed lawyer, loving mother, and daughter of Victor Tuchman - a power-hungry real estate developer and, by all accounts, a bad man. Now that Victor is on his deathbed, Alex feels she can finally unearth the secrets of who he is. As her tight-lipped mother Barbra fends off Alex's unrelenting questions, she reflects on her tumultuous life with Victor. Meanwhile Gary, Alex's brother, is incommunicado, trying to get his movie career off the ground in Los Angeles. And Gary's wife, Twyla, is having a nervous breakdown, buying up all the lipstick in drug stores around New Orleans and bursting into crying fits.
Dysfunction is at its peak. As each family member grapples with Victor's history, they must figure out a way to move forward. All This Could be Yours is a timely, piercing exploration of what it means to be caught in the web of a toxic man who abused his power; it shows how those webs can tangle a family for generations and what it takes to break free.
