When Abigail Schiller's younger brother Sam disappears at the age of seventeen, unable to conform to his father's ideals of masculinity, Abby is devastated. Haunted by her memories of him she flees to New York to build a new life. There she meets Adam, the man she eventually marries. Ten years later, pregnant with her first child, Abby realises she has to come to terms with her family's past.
