The Mulvaneys are seemingly blessed by everything that makes life sweet. They live together in the High Point Farm, just outside Mt Ephraim, New York, where they are respected and liked by everybody. Yet something happens on Valentine's Day, 1976. An incident, involving Marianne Mulvaney, the pretty sixteen-year-old daughter, is hushed up in the town and never discussed within the family. The impact of this event reverberates throughout the lives of the characters.
