After falling in love in the last years of the 1970s, Eleanor and Cam follow their dream of raising three children on a New Hampshire farm. Theirs is a seemingly idyllic life, but when a tragic accident permanently injures the family’s youngest child, Eleanor blames Cam. Her inability to forgive him leads to a devastating betrayal: an affair that brings about the end of their marriage. Over the four decades that follow, the five members of this fractured family make surprising discoveries and turbulent decisions that occasionally bring them together, and often tear them apart. As we follow these characters from times of illegal abortion and the draft through the early age of the computer, the Challenger explosion, the AIDS epidemic, the early awakenings of the #MeToo era, and beyond, we witness a family forced to confront essential, painful truths of its past, and find redemption in the face of an unanticipated disaster.
