  1. SYNTHESIS LIFE AS A HOUSE BLOW

  2. SUMMARYLife as a House • Unfilled and depressed, 45-year old architect George Monroe has lost sight of his dreams. Living in an inherited shack he had planned on rebuilding years ago, he works tirelessly at his job and remains estranged from his family: ex-wife Robin and maladjusted son Sam. But, in one day, the course of George's life changes forever. He is fired from his job and diagnosed with a terminal illness. Given only four months to live, George vows to accomplish his lifelong dream of building his dream house. He recruits his son's begrudging help for the summer. Over the course of the next few months, George attempts to mend his long-suffering relationship with the brooding and intense 16-year-old as they tear down the ramshackle shack and rebuild a monument to his dreams. The much maligned eyesore is transformed. Meanwhile, next-door neighbor Colleen engages in some free-spirited activities of her own while her daughter Alyssa helps to brighten Sam's summer. Finally, it is Robin who begins to see a change in George and feels herself drawn back into the life of her longtime ex. Together Robin and Sam help George fulfill his goal as he rebuilds his house (and his life) before it is too late.

As a child, he witnesses his father's struggles to make ends meet and grows up wanting more out of his own life.

How does George go from being a lil' tike with a cool dad to one of the biggest drug-runners in the United States during the late 70s, early 80s? True story.
