Eugene is slowly losing his ability to walk and the doctors give him less than six months to live, so Abigail decides to contact his brother Nathan to ask him to come back and help her with the situation. However, he accepts to talk to his father but doesn't want to with his mother, which starts a new fight with Abigail. 'As The Made Us' explores family problems and how difficult is to overcome holding grudges.
