A desperate son (Stephen Ellis) reconnects with his estranged father (John Ennis) over an absurd request that will change their lives forever. Awash in debt and strapped with a pregnant girlfriend, Seth is willing to go the distance for some extra cash. The questions is, can he convince his recovering father to do the same? A REASONABLE REQUEST questions the integrity of the family bond and places a price on one’s dignity. It’s a dark comedy that teeters the line of ethics and flaunts the notion of appropriate.
