Nelly, Jenny June, and Gerty live out their lives above the family clock repair shop near the Chicago River before their time unexpectedly runs out. By the end of 1928, all three Fail sisters will be dead—expiring in reverse order, youngest to oldest, from a blunt object to the head, disappearance, and finally consumption. Failure: A Love Story is a magical, musical fable where, in the end, the power of love is far greater than any individual’s successes or failures.
