A magician, Louis, arrives at a child's birthday party, having been booked for the afternoon entertainment. He's late, and the child's father isn't sure if they should go through with the performance because they can tell the magician's been drinking. But when the mother comes in to talk, the magician realizes it's his long-estranged daughter, Elise. They haven't seen one another in some time, and their meeting is awkward and painful on both sides. Elise has booked her father to talk with him after fifteen years, and the conversation opens up old wounds and grievances. It's not an ideal situation, but Elise wants to talk.
