Synopsis

Joseph Vita is a former doctor turned inventor and business owner. Growing an empire under the pillars of hard work and indomitable grit, a characterization that has run deep into himself and resonated through his upbringing, Vita is renowned as a highly successful business man. Those character traits that have built Vita into the strong man he is, and given him the family and life he always wanted, harbor many secrets. It is not until Vita falls ill, which eventually leads to him into a coma, that the world around seemingly comes down. Unaware if he will ever wake up, the many people in his life share all of their loving words, their antagonizing pain and their undivided hate for Vita, which ironically tell the story of who Joseph Vita Jr. really is.
