It’s 1953, and for Nick Taylor, WWII veteran turned company lawyer, oil is the key to the future. Thanks to his work for American Oil, Nick can provide every comfort for his family, including Last House, a secluded country escape. Deep in the Vermont mountains, the Taylors are free from the stresses of modern life. Last House is a place that could survive the end of the world. It’s 1968, and America is on the brink of change. Protestors fill the streets to challenge everything from the Vietnam War to racism and the country's reliance on Big Oil. As Katherine makes her first forays into adult life, she’s caught up in the current of the time and struggles to reconcile her ideals with the stable and privileged childhood her Greatest Generation parents worked so hard to provide. Each member of the Taylor family will be forced to reckon with the consequences of the choices they’ve made for the causes they believed in.
