When his niece, whom he has never met, appears at his door one morning, his first reaction is to dismiss her, but she beseeches him to tell her about her father, who abandoned her mother, her siblings, and her when she was a young child. Daniel's mother and sister have filled in some gaps, but the feud between him and his brother defined their relationship, and she sought him out to give her a picture of the father she never knew.
