In "Three Days of Rain," siblings Walker and Nan reunite for the reading of their famous architect father's will. Together with a family friend, Pip, they attempt to make sense of the mysteries in their parents' lives, as the siblings discover a journal their father left behind in an abandoned New York City apartment.
