Leo Beagle has recently completed a 638-page manifesto on harmony for humanity which he hopes will be the impetus for the next major social movement for the world

Arriving home to his family which includes his depressed mother, philandering father, confused sister, introverted nephew and a neighbor who has always been in love with him, Leo tries to test his principles on this group

The only problem ishe can't get them to read the manifesto. Leo's visit does, however, bring change to the family. Although Leo's mother accuses him of being "addicted to hope," the play's moving ending suggests that the desire to save the world and the need to dream is born with each new generation

Is any one a prophet in one's own country, especially when that country is modern suburbia?

A touching look at what happens when a would-be messiah arrives home with a 638-page manifesto on harmony for humanity and the effect this has on his anything but harmonious family
