Eldest son Billy, a successful cardiologist, lives a life built on secrets and compromise. His brother Scott awakened from a pot-addled adolescence to a soul-killing job and a regrettable marriage. And Gwenbright and accomplished but hermetic and emotionally aloofspurns all social interaction until, well into her thirties, she falls in love for the first time.
