Claire is overwhelmed.  After moving back in to her childhood home to assist with her cancer-stricken mother's care, Claire is confronted by memories of the father who abandoned their family when she was young.  Worse still is her mother's stubborn refusal to blame him for his betrayal.  Her frustration and confusion are only complicated by the fact that her long-time boyfriend and co-worker, Lyndon, is pushing her to take the plunge.
