On Air

THE GATHERING STORM...During the 1980s Eric Storm was Boston's hottest radio personality, but 20 years later he's a full-grown beagle heavier, divorced, and out of work. Complicating matters is Ma, whose sudden deterioration frightens him. She has loved him, shouted at him, praised him, criticized him, and driven him completely nuts, and he's done the same to her - a comfortable set of dynamics that has worked fine for almost 50 years. Unprepared to take on his new role as caregiver, he responds by becoming obsessed with a sexy young street musician who's only been alive for four presidents. Then Ma makes a deathbed confession, the diary she kept years ago reveals a shocking truth about the father he never met, and suddenly he has two roles to play.
