Synopsis:
Several years previously, a young couple were the victims of a random terror bombing days before their wedding. Mae died but David lived, maimed by his injuries. Now David has chosen a new bride - a therapist who helped him recover - but David's father is strongly opposed to the match. The night before the wedding, he writes out place cards for all the dead people the family know who won't be attending. It is also Hallowe'en, and the family are visited by an angel of death, who grants the father the dream he has so stubbornly held on to: the second act becomes David and Mae's wedding party. But an unwanted visitor - the bomber who killed Mae - also arrives, and the father is forced to choose between a future filled with more violence or an acceptance of past events he cannot change.
