When the police come to arrest Hal Lamm, a Minneapolis salesman, for abusing his thirteen-year-old granddaughter, his entire family must come to terms with their secrets and unhealed wounds. Hal's wife, Phyllis, after decades of denial and emotional estrangement, finally confronts him. His daughter Ellie, herself once abused by Hal, had sought to find strength by moving away, and now discovers it back in the midst of her family.
Cal, the youngest son, is a lawyer whose instinct is to defend Hal - until he becomes a father himself. Most poignantly of all, the granddaughter Becky, unconsoled by the parties and gifts her parents give her, and suspicious of the therapist she is now required to see, keeps her rage hidden - and nearly tears herself apart.
