Ryan Lee got cancer in his middle years. He'd spent his life trying to be the perfect son, serving his parents' every need, only to lose his wife and kid in the process. He thought he'd nailed being a "son" and "brother," missing how he'd failed as a husband and father. When he learned his days were numbered, he fought to reclaim the factory for his daughter, but his parents, brother, and sister-in-law blocked him at every turn. It was only then that he finally saw the true color of his so-called family. In the end, he cut ties with those soul-draining relatives for good, a bitter weight lifting off his chest.
